Children's Liturgy takes place at the 8.30am and 10.30am Masses each Sunday during school term time.
The children process out of the church after the greeting and go to the school where they have their own Penetential Rite, listen to and interact with Word at their own level.
Then they pray the Prayer of the Faithful and return to church to join their families for the Eucharistic Prayer.
Mainly Music is a Christian based programme with 30 minutes of music aimed at children from birth to 5 years of age and their caregivers. Followed by morning tea and a time of fellowship for children and adults alike.
At St Mary's, our sessions start at 9:30am on Fridays during the school term time and go through until 10:45am. This is an extremely popular programme and the cost is $3.00 per session, per family.
The St. Mary's Community Playgroup welcomes all parents and caregivers of babies and pre-schoolers in our community to gather for companionship and support.
Playgroup provides an opportunity to meet in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in which new friends are made and old friendships are strengthened. The children are provided with a range of activities and play in a caring and stimulating environment.
Playgroup is open on Mondays from 10.00am to 12.00noon, except for public holidays and the Christmas school holidays.
