Children’s Liturgy

Last Updated on September 14, 2023

St. Philip Parish’s Children’s Liturgy is a weekly session taking place in the Parish Hall during the parish’s Sunday 10:30am Mass. It encompasses an age-appropriate liturgy where songs and crafts relevant to that week’s gospel, readings or liturgical time of year are taught. The ministry, involving adults, instructors/leaders and teen helpers, serves children who have not made their First Communion, but older children who have completed their First Communion are also welcomed.

The Children’s Liturgy contributes to the St. Philip’s parish life by facilitating an environment during Sunday Mass that enables children to be instructed in the gospel in a way that is appropriate to their age. We also provide an opportunity for teens to provide ministry and role modelling for the younger children.

Volunteer Requirements:

  • Adult leaders are needed for this very important ministry and a minimal amount of time is required.
  • Teachers, parents of young children, or any other interested adults who are passionate
    about teaching children about the Word of God.

    year.
