Children's Ministry

The children of our parish are valued members of our parish community. We seek to build an abiding knowledge and love of God in our parishioners’ earliest years, which we hope will develop good soil for the seeds of faith to grow throughout each child’s life.

Newcomers, returning families, and one-day visitors to long-time parishioners are welcome!

Resources for 4 to 8-year-olds and 8 to 12-year-olds are available in each of the Children's corners within the churches. 

Parents with infants and toddlers are encouraged to remain with their children in the church during the mass as they are able. We think it is important for very young children to become comfortable being in church. When young children cannot sit comfortably with the rest of the congregation, parents are invited to move to the children's areas where they may engage their children with toys or activities. There is plenty of space there to walk an infant back to sleep. We hope to have changing tables available in both Churches as soon as possible. At St Mary's, this will be in the Accessible toilet, and at St Matthew's, in the Vicars toilet. 

Please get in touch with us if you have any questions about what you find here.
