Children are always welcome in church, even when they are noisy, and nobody should feel embarrassed about bringing young children to Mass. At the same time, we understand that there may be moments when you would prefer to take a child out for a while if they become too unsettled.

For this reason, at St Anne's and St Anthony's we now have a dedicated space for toddlers and young children. Parents are welcome to make use of this area during Mass so that children can play for a short time while you continue to take part in the liturgy. If you would like to use this space, please speak to one of the welcomers when you arrive and they will be happy to show you where it is.
