CHURCH LIFE
Children's Liturgy
During term-time, we run Children's Liturgy sessions for youngsters up to and including school year 3 at the 10:15am Sunday Mass. This enables us to provide and explain the day's Gospel in a language that children will understand and sessions will begin again on Sunday 10th September.
All helpers are DBS checked and the sessions run on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month. New helpers willing to undergo DBS checking are welcome to join our small team. Please speak to Anne Worden.
