Children's Ministry

Children’s Liturgy and Family Masses

Children's Liturgy

The Children's Liturgy begins with the start of Sunday morning Mass in the Sacred Heart church in Pymble. The children come together at the front of the church to receive a blessing by the priest before they move to the Parish Meeting Room. The children return to the church for the Liturgy of the Eucharist and are often involved in the Offertory Procession. It is important that the children are positioned in the Church prior to the start of the mass.

The Children’s Liturgy (Ages 3-10) is supported by a group of adult volunteers who work with the children at the scheduled 9:30am Mass during school term. Children wishing to participate assemble in front of the altar at the start of Mass and then retire to their own liturgy of the word for children. The gospel of the day is read and discussed followed by associated activities related to the day.

The Children's Liturgy is a wonderful way to engage and nourish the children of our Parish with God's Word. Joining in with the Children's Liturgy is a wonderful faith enriching experience for the children of our Parish.

If you would also like to join the program support team, please contact the Parish office. There are always opportunities for adults to support this important ministry. If you would like to be involved and share your faith with the children, please contact the Parish office.

Family Masses

Family Masses at both churches are joyful celebrations where our parish schools and parish community come together in faith and friendship. These liturgies offer a wonderful opportunity for children to take an active role - reading, singing, carrying the gifts, and joining the Gospel procession - helping them grow in confidence and feel at home in the heart of parish life. Families of all ages are invited to share in these special moments throughout the year. We then celebrate over a BBQ or morning tea after Mass. If your child would like to participate, please contact the Parish office.

Family Mass Choir

The Family Mass Choir is part of our family masses at Sacred Heart Pymble. If the choir is something that you would like to be involved with, or if you would like additional background on our program then please contact the Parish office.
