Children’s Liturgy

Children’s Liturgy of the Word

The children of the parish are invited to celebrate the Liturgy of The Word with their own catechists at Sunday morning Mass. Offering the children a Liturgy of The Word, which is suited to their age and adapted to their stage of development, can become one of the key ways of helping them grow in faith.

The children gather in the church and begin the Mass with everyone else. After the Sign of the Cross and the Greeting, the Priest calls the children forward, presents them with a Bible and the adult leaders process with the children to the “upper room”. The children come back into church at the offertory, where they display what they have done and then some of them take part in the Offertory procession.
This is not a closed group – all primary school age children in the church are welcome and encouraged to attend.

28th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C)

Gospel reflection: What do you remember from today’s reading?

Jesus teaches us about saying thank you, trusting God, and how faith can change our lives.

In the Gospel, Jesus meets ten people who are very sick with something called leprosy. They ask Him to help them, and He does—they’re all healed! But only one of them comes back to say thank you. And guess what? He wasn’t even from the same town or religion as Jesus. Jesus is happy that this man came back, because being thankful shows we really understand how special God’s love is.

This Sunday reminds us that saying “thank you” is more than just being polite—it’s a way to show love to God. When we’re grateful, we notice all the good things He gives us, like friends, family, food, and even sunny days!

So let’s be like the one who came back. Whether it’s a big gift or a small one, let’s remember to thank God with happy hearts and share His love with others!

Parents, grandparents and guardians, please feel free to share today’s Gospel with your children and grandchildren alongside the activities.
