Advent and Christmas with Children
Advent and Christmas are approaching as we head to the end of the year. Advent is a time of waiting and preparing for the birth of Jesus. Christmas isn't just one day! The Christmas season allows children and families to celebrate the story of Jesus' birth. To check out our resources for these two seasons of the church click the link below.
a new vision for ministry to children
Do you want to see our churches buzzing with the joyful chorus of children filling the pews? So do we. Hear more about our vision for ministry to children here:
sacramental initiation of children
Children are invited into full participation in the Church through the sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist) as well as Penance, celebrated in their local parish. To find out more and to access Archdiocesan resources to support this journey, head to the Flame of Faith website:
CHILDREN'S MINISTRY
Many opportunities exist for children to engage with their local parish. These include Children’s Liturgy of the Word, holiday activities, primary aged youth groups as well as playgroups for parents/caregivers and their little ones.
