Takes place every Sunday morning during 10am Mass, (however not during school holidays) this allows the Liturgy of the Word to be broken down into smaller understandable parts for our children who are preparing for Sacraments
All primary school children are welcome to attend (please no pre schoolers)
There are three parishioners who guide our children through the Liturgy using everyday experiences and examples which we can all relate to the Gospel. By using this method they encourage our children to participate in the message of the Gospel and understand why everyday activities are linked to Faith and the word of the Gospel.
Children often are given worksheets, pictures to colour etc to help break down the Liturgy and they are encouraged to share this with their families as well as putting their work on the display board which is in the side Chapel. We always welcome parents/family members to pop in and have a look at their marvellous work.
The ladies who help our children are Christina Cusack, Cath Dillon and Christina Robb.
