During the Sunday 10:00 a.m. Mass, Children’s Liturgy sessions are held to develop the children’s understanding of the Liturgy of the Word. The Liturgy is adapted to be made relevant to the lives and experiences of the young children and to prepare them for full participation in the Mass as they get older. This time also gives them an opportunity to receive and reflect on the Liturgy that their parents are hearing in the church.

The children leave for the hall at the beginning of the Mass and return at the offertory procession. They welcome children 4-8 years of age: those under 4 years must be accompanied by an adult or responsible sibling. People who enjoy working with children, and parents whose children attend, are welcomed to assist during this programme.

For the year 2019, we had 13 adult volunteers along with 14 student volunteers. Together, they served 40-95 children each week.
