This “gem church” will be open each day for private prayer and meditation from 9.30am. until 3.30pm.
St. Mary's with St.Patrick's 3s to 11s Group
All are welcome
The 3s to 11s group is for all children (aged 3-11 or thereabouts) who meet on the first Sunday of every month. The group is led by three adults: Jane, Miriam and Bev.
The aim of the group is for the children to access the Liturgy of the Word through a 'child friendlier' version of the Gospel reading and through the form of pictures, either pre made or the children's own.
The children go to their group at the beginning of Mass and return after the homily, when they proceed with the offertory gifts and their pictures to Fr. Phil. They return to sit with their families after the offertory procession. The pictures they have done are then displayed on the website. Children can collect their pictures during the following weeks - just see Jane.
The group would like to share with you some of their recent work.Click on the pictures below for larger images
Jesus used the image of the grain of wheat to try to explain what was going to happen to him.
He told his disciples " The time has come for me to be glorified. Just as agrain of wheat must die to produce a harvest of many grains, so the son of God must die so that many can live."
