Little Church is run by a group of parents. It is designed to bring the liturgy to young children at a level they can more easily under-stand.

Little Church takes place in the church hall from the beginning of the 11.30 am mass and at the offertory the children are brought into church to take the offerings and join in the remaining celebration of the Mass.

During Little Church we light candles for special intentions chosen by the children, sing songs and listen to the gospel reading, discussing its meaning with the children afterwards. We finish with an activity which usually includes colouring in pictures from the gospel.

Children aged from 3 years can be left to enjoy Little Church, leaving Mums and Dads to attend Mass. However, parents are more than welcome to stay with their children as help with supervision is always gratefully accepted.

Very young babies and toddlers accompanied by Mum or Dad are very welcome to stay and grow with Little Church, so that when old enough they too can join in the liturgy. Soft toys and a little corner are available.

We are always delighted to welcome our children and parents and look forward to greeting our new members in the future.
