Children’s Liturgy of the Word is an age-appropriate Liturgy of the Word offered for pre-schoolers and Primary aged children. Children’s Liturgy is offered at our Sunday morning mass 9:30am at St Bernadette’s, The Basin and at 11am at St Joseph’s, Boronia. No pre-registration is necessary. All children are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Just before the Liturgy of the Word begins the children are invited to go, with the weekly leaders, from the mass area of the church to the back room. During this special time, the volunteer teacher leads the children through prayers, songs and readings that are simplified for children.
The children learn about the same Scripture readings as the rest of the parish. They are taught a simplified main message of the readings and are encouraged to share that message with their parents after Mass.
