San Leone Association

Children’s Liturgy of the Word – is currently not running.
Children’s liturgy would normally be held on Sundays during the 9am Mass. All children are encouraged to attend. The leaders, who are a group of mothers, break open the Word of God for the children. The children are brought into a deeper understanding of what the Gospel is telling us all. They are encouraged to interact and their ideas are discussed.
A format is followed. Children are called up by the Parish Priest to be blessed and then led away by their leader. Once in the Children’s Liturgy Corner, a candle is lit, signifying that Jesus is the light of the world and prayers are said. The Gospel acclamation is read by one of the children and the leader reads the Gospel. It is then discussed and explored. An activity is done which emphasises the message of the Gospel. The Creed is said, bidding prayers are offered and the children and leader rejoin the congregation to celebrate the Eucharist.
Children’s Liturgy welcomes children of all ages. Parents of very young children are encouraged to come along with their children so that they can help them get more out of the experience. Older children are given the opportunity to contribute more and get to grips with the Gospel message.
