At St Francis Church we have a dedicated team of Catechists and helpers, on rota, to lead our Children’s liturgy, which takes
place during Holy Mass each Sunday in school term time.
Each Sunday, at the beginning of Holy Mass, Fr. Kevin invites the children to go out to celebrate the
Gospel readings in a special way.
The children return to the mass as part of the
offertory procession.
During the Children’s Liturgy the Catechists 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. 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 takeneach Sunday. All Catechists and helpers on rota are CRB
checked.
