The
Children's Liturgy Group operates at the 10am Mass each Sunday except during
August.
The children are divided into three age groups:
- three to five;
- five to seven, and
- seven to nine.
The children leave Mass just after the entrance hymn and rejoin during the bidding prayers, so that they can take part in the offertory. Each of the age groups is looked after by a leader and helpers.
The children's time begins with a 'sorry' prayer for any actions of the previous week; then the Gospel of the week is read (which is compulsory) - a shortened one for the youngest children.
After this there are activities like crafts and drama centred around the Gospel reading. A final prayer within each group brings the children back together.
Volunteers, particularly Group Leaders, are always welcome, as are teenage helpers - extra pairs of hands are always needed!
