Children’s Liturgy online

At Mass every Sunday morning at 11:15, the younger children participate in their own version of the Liturgy of the Word.

With everyone stuck at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, we have been organising weekly sessions of the Children’s Liturgy via Zoom. These are now on hold for the summer break but we will resume the Children’s Liturgy live in September – either in person or online, depending on the public health situation.

We have also brought together our regular resources for the Children’s Liturgy on this page. The latest worksheets and activities are posted on a weekly basis: simply sign up for updates from this website in the box on the right.

1. Sorry

After greeting each other, we begin Mass by saying “sorry” for anything we have done wrong over the last week.

2. Prayer

We pray together in silence, focused on the candle, speaking directly to God. However small we are, every one of us can speak to God in this way.

3. Thanks

We thank God for how good He is to us by singing the “Gloria”. The following recording only works if you take part: you must clap after each “Gloria!”

4. The Gospel Reading and reflection 

Each week we listen to a different story from the Gospel — the same one the grown-ups are hearing — and we reflect on it through drawings, puzzles and other activities.

5. Return to Mass

After the Children’s Liturgy, we rejoin the rest of the community for Mass.
