Children's Liturgy of the Word
The Liturgy of the Word for children (of primary school age) takes place at the 11 a.m. Mass each Sunday and helps our children to reflect on and understand the Word of God at their own level.
Children are led by our parish catechists.

Candidates for Sacraments in 2020:
We invite and encourage ALL candidates asking to receive one or more sacraments in 2020 to engage in a wee "missionary activity" which shows their seriousness and commitment towards their own community of faith. The activity each one chooses, will be "signed off" each week at the mass they attend. Activities they can choose from (but not limited to) are:
Offertory procession, Children's liturgy, reading bidding prayers, distributing/tidying up hymn books/bulletins, Altar serving or
other activity they can discuss with Fr. Ian.
