"Being in the
image of God the human individual possesses the dignity of a person,
who is not just something, but someone."

Children's Liturgy Group
|
||
 |
||
| This takes place during the 9.00am Mass on Sundays. The children leave the church just before the first reading for their own liturgy of the word and return before the offertory, regularly taking an active part in it. | ||
| Through a separate Liturgy of the Word
for children, we aim to introduce children of infant school age to
important aspects of God's message.
We try to do this by allowing them to celebrate God's word at their own pace, giving them the opportunity to offer their thoughts and reflections, following the pattern of normal congregational liturgy. We hope that they gain an experience of being part of a community, the parish, and the feeling that their thoughts and ideas are valued by that community. By using symbols and movements of the liturgy we endeavour to help them discover how the Word of God has meaning in their daily lives. We hope that by offering a Children's Liturgy of the Word, we can
help support families with young children in the parish |
||
| Children aged between 4 and 8 years are invited to attend. The group is run by volunteers and more are always welcome. | ||
