Children’s Liturgy
Children’s liturgy is crucial for young believers’ spiritual growth. It provides a tailored worship experience for kids. This helps nurture faith from childhood through engaging activities.
Children’s Liturgy welcomes any child of age 4-7. In some of our churches there is also a liturgy for children aged 8 and up.
During the Children’s Liturgy the Catechists/Leaders use a variety of activities including stories, games, drama and craft to help the children to explore their faith through the life of Jesus and his Good News.
A simplified version of the Gospel is read and children are encouraged to reflect on its main theme in a variety of ways relating to their own lives and experience.
The children are encouraged to share their ideas and ask questions as we explore our Catholic beliefs together.
Parents are welcome to stay with their children if necessary and will be included on the group register of names taken each Sunday.
All Catechists and Leaders are DBS checked, in line with Diocesan guidelines.
