Children of our Parish

Our churches welcome and celebrate the children in our Parish as they are our future! We have lots of activities to support families and help children on their faith journey in a fun and friendly way.

Children's Liturgy

We have a Children's Liturgy every Sunday during term-time at Our Lady & St. John's 11:15 Mass. We read a child-friendly gospel and talk about its message before doing a fun activity, such as craft or drama. On the first Sunday of each month, we have Lego Church, where we build Lego models based on the Gospel's theme and message. Click on the button below to see some photos of our projects!

Children's area

We have a children's area at Our Lady & St. John, with toys and activity sheets. There are also some fun challenges to try. 

 

Families are welcome to help themselves, but we ask that children are supervised at all times.

Schools

There are a number of schools associated with the Parish of Our Lady and St. John and Holy Family. Our primary school is Ladymount Catholic Primary School and our secondary schools are Upton Hall School, St. Anselm's College, St. Mary's RC College and St John Plessington Catholic College.

Sacramental Preparation

We offer sacramental preparation for First forgiveness and First Holy Communion for children in Year 3 and above. Children who attend Ladymount will receive their preparation in school before making these Sacraments at Church. For children who don't attend Ladymount we have a parish group that met fortnightly from January to June. 

​

We also offer Sacramental Preparation for Confirmation for children in Year 8 and above. This is organised with St. Winefride's, Neston.
