CHILDREN

If you would like to participate in, or want further information about, any of our groups please contact the Parish Office.

THE CHILDREN'S LITURGY GROUP

Our parish places considerable emphasis upon and puts much effort into the Children’s Liturgy. It is celebrated during the 9.45am Mass on each Sunday of the year, except for a number of Sundays during the Summer holiday period.

Three different age groups are catered for:

• The Younger Group (aged 4 to 7 years)
• The First Holy Communion Group
• The Older Group (aged 8 to 11 years and Junior children who have made their First Holy Communion)

THE TODDLER GROUP

The Toddler Group meets every Thursday morning at 9.15am in the Lourdes Hall. Around 20 to 30 families attend for an unstructured, informal and relaxed play session on ride-on toys and slides etc, with a quiet corner for stories and jigsaws. There is also a corner reserved for babies; and craft activities take place on a regular basis.

Mums, dads, grandparents and carers are all welcome and seem to enjoy the freedom to chat and make new friends. For some, this Group proves to be a vital step before starting playgroup or nursery. Refreshments are available throughout the session.
