Children’s Liturgy is a special celebration where children hear the readings and the Gospel proclaimed at an age-appropriate level. These readings are brought alive for the children using modern and interactive methods that include crafts, games, drama and song. They are then given the opportunity to discuss the readings and offer prayers for their intentions.
Please note that regular participation in Children’s Liturgy is expected for those in Sacramental Preparation classes.

Children’s Liturgy is celebrated every Sunday at our Parish Churches.
