Childrens Liturgy of the Word

Children’s Liturgy of the Word – This is when the children leave the congregation during Mass to celebrate and reflect on the Sunday Gospel reading in an age appropriate way. The children are led through prayers, songs and readings that are adapted to their level of understanding.

We will be reintroducing Children’s Liturgy at All Hallows on Sunday, 5th May at the 10am Family Mass.Due to our safeguarding requirements, any child attending Children’s Liturgy will have to register before being allowed to attend.
