If you have children or grandchildren, you might like to watch these brief videos with them so they can learn
the story of today's feast of the Baptism of Jesus.

If you do,or if you forward them to their parents, perhaps you could let usknow if they were helpful, and if so, we'll find more in a similar vein.

Children's Nativity Play

This is a pre-recorded Family Mass
for Christmas 2020. 

It is identical to the Christmas Mass
also on our YouTube channel, EXCEPT:

The reading of the Gospel by Fr. Dillon is replaced by a Children's Nativity Play prepared by the children of the Primary School of the St Simon the Apostle Parish (guided by Hedy Carvalho, Marialisa Mandarino
and Jeanette Wallis); and Fr. Dillon's homily from the Christmas Mass
is shortened to make it appropriate
for children and families.

A group of volunteers gather primary aged school children during the Mass and break
out to a special quiet area to learn about the readings and Gospel for the day with explanations provided to the children. Activities and work sheets are handed out for the children to complete and take home.

Unfortunately due to COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to provide this in-person service until further notice. If you would like more information or to help out with Children's Liturgy by being a leader please contact the Parish Office.
 

Please see below the CLOW Worksheets and 'Ready, Set, Pray!'
videos to continue exploing the Gospel with your children at home.
