Playgroup
Playgroup is for parents/grandparents/caregivers who meet regularly with their not-yet-at-school children (babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers) for play and social interaction grounded in faith.
Parents and caregivers work together to offer fun opportunities for learning through play and building community.
All Saints Parish Playgroup meets on Fridays during school terms from 10-11.30am in the Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) building.
Children's Liturgy of the Word
Children's Liturgy of the Word occurs in the first half of Mass, when the children are invited to join a special reading and explanation of the Scripture passages for that day, as well as related activities. The children go to the parish centre to receive age-appropriate teachings. Children are also often invited to do the offertory during the Mass, and may be invited by Father to share with the congregation what they learned during Children's Liturgy, before the conclusion of Mass.
Children's Liturgy is held at the 9am Sunday Mass during school terms, except where there is Family Mass or a special celebration, e.g. Blessing of the Pets Mass. See newsletter for details.
Family Mass
Family Masses are held on the second weekend of the month, alternating between Saturday 5pm and Sunday 9am. These Masses are prepared with a focus on families. Children are involved in many ways including the prayers, readings, drama and choir.
