Sacristy Sunday occurs once a month during term time at the 9am mass at St Mary's.
It is a special session for young children which takes place during the Liturgy of the Word. The children are invited to the sacristy and very young ones are accompanied by a parent or grandparent. A candle is lit and the scripture of the day might be read and discussed in a simple manner. There follows an activity, some prayer and sometimes a song. In conclusion the children return to the church and bring forward their activity as part of the gifts of the offertory.
The session is conducted by a parent who prepares in advance with assistance and resources from the parish office.
We are always looking for volunteers to lead the sessions, so come and experience the next one and see whether you might like to give it a go. All are welcome.
