Children’s Liturgy

Children’s Liturgy of the Word is an age-appropriate Liturgy of the Word offered at the Sunday 9.30am Mass for pre-First Holy Communion children (i.e. KS1 children, from Reception to Year 2) who are welcome and encouraged to attend.  A Parental Consent Form must be completed by the Parent/Guardian for their child/children to attend Children’s Liturgy  to comply with Arundel and Brighton Diocese Safeguarding procedures.

Parents are encouraged to stay in the Mass.

At the beginning of Mass, the children are invited to go with the leaders from the church to the church hall. During this special time, the helpers leads the children through prayers, songs and readings that are simplified for children.

The children learn about the same Scripture readings as the rest of the assembly. They are taught a simplified main message of the readings and are encouraged to share that message with their parents after Mass.

Volunteers are needed to share their faith with the children, as well as to assist with their supervision. This is a great opportunity for adults and young adults to help these eager children learn the Word of the Lord and love the Lord and our catholic faith.
