The children will be invited to gather around the Altar at the beginning of the Mass and then proceed to the Church room (the old sacristy) accompanied by adult leaders.
Once inside the children are warmly welcomed and the Gospel or chosen scripture will be presented in a child friendly way to encourage the children’s understanding and engagement with the scripture text.
Each Sunday we will have a planned activity afterwards to help the children reflect on the scripture and receive it into their heart.
