Sunday School
We believe that children and young people can follow Jesus and be full members of the church, and that discipleship is possible at any age.
Let the little children come to me and do not stop them.
Luke 18:16
We welcome children and young people to join us for their own special gathering to learn about Christ. The group meet Sundays during our 10am mass, we all start mass together and reconvene again for Communion.
Our children and young people regularly lead the sermon slot and are invited to join us up front with an instrument for the final song!
