The Children's Liturgy is for all children aged between 4 and 9 years. The aim of the group is to provide the children with an adapted Liturgy of the Word during the 10am Mass on Sundays, in a context that affirms the goodness of the children themselves and encourages them to develop and express their thoughts and feelings about God, within a safe place. A team of mainly parent volunteers run the group at St George’s. Within each session, there are two groups – one for Year 3 and above and one for Year 2 and under. Each group has two parent volunteers leading the Liturgy. The Sunday Gospel is the focus for both groups with the children themselves reading the Gospel aloud. The children then participate in discussion followed by an activity arising from the Gospel, which is appropriate to the age of the relevant group, e.g. drawing, colouring, singing, or drama. Central to the working of the two groups is the foundation of a culture of kindness and mutual respect.
