Children are a very important part of our parish. To help them feel welcome and engaged during Mass there are some resources available especially for them.
Child Friendly SheetsAt every Sunday Mass we give out these sheets:
Look is for children between 4-9 years old. Each week the Gospel story is explained in age appropriate language. It also provides Gospel-focused activities and games for younger children to help each child get to know the person of Jesus. Ichthus is for children who have received their first Holy Communion. It explains the readings of the day in accessible language and provides commentary on the action of the Mass. Busy BagsAt the back of the churches you will also find these bags for 0-4 year olds. In them you will find a little eye-spy flip book, prayer cards and a hand with a guide to Pope Francis' special five finger prayer. There are also a variety of board books and small creatures to hold on to.
