CHILDREN'S LITURGY
All children are welcome to our Children's Liturgy on Sunday. During our sessions we pray and learn about the Gospel theme for each week. The sessions are particularly suitable for children between the ages of four and eight but older children are welcome to continue attending.
We are always looking for volunteers who would be willing to sit in while this is taking place or perhaps even lead liturgies. If you are intersted, please speak to Mrs Jo Martin after Mass or e-mail her by clicking here.
Preparation for the sacreaments or Reconciliation (P3), First Communion (P4) and Confirmation (P7 & above) are now beginning to get underway.
Reconciliation & First Communion Class: After Mass on Sundays from 10.45 - 11.15am.
Confirmation Class: Sundays after Mass beginning at 11.15am.
Parents who have any queries about sacramental preparation are asked to see Mrs Jo Martin at church on Sunday mornings or e-mail by clicking here.

POLICY STATEMENT ON THE PROTECTION OF CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS
"The Catholic Church in Scotland is concerned with the lives, safety, wholeness and well-being of each individual person within God's purpose for everyone.
It seeks to safeguard the welfare of people of all ages who are involved in whatever capacity with the Church and its organisations.
As a Church community, we accept that it is the responsibility of all of us, ordained, professed, paid and voluntary members, to work together to prevent the physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect of children, young people and vulnerable adults."
