Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me," and he knew very well that children are not always quiet. A parish with children is a living parish, and as the saying goes, if the Church isn't crying, it's dying. We want our churches to be places where families feel truly welcome, where parents are not worried about bringing children to Mass, and where young people can grow up knowing that the Church is their home.

We are hoping to begin a Children's Liturgy during Sunday Mass so that younger members of the parish can hear the Gospel and learn about the faith in a way that is suited to their age. This will take place during Mass, with children returning to the church before the Liturgy of the Eucharist. If you would be interested in helping with this important part of parish life, please speak to Judith Anwunah, our Parish Youth Leader. Volunteers are needed so that we can proceed.
