As we are about to commence our new year of Children’s Liturgy and sacramental preparation, we give thanks to all those who freely give of their time to support this most valuable ministry. We would like to give a special thanks to Angie Squizzoni who is now stepping back from her role following her recent retirement. Her enthusiasm and dedication will be greatly missed.
Our Sacramental preparation programmes and Children’s Liturgy sessions are dependent on the number of volunteers available. Going forward, we only have 2 catechists available at St Wilfrid’s to run both of these programmes and without further support it may not be possible to offer a Children’s Liturgy session every Sunday in term time. One DBS checked adult catechist is needed for every eight children to meet the child safeguarding regulations.
If you are willing to give a little of your precious time, want to learn more about your faith and share it with others, then please email Jackie at [email protected] or speak to Teresa or Annette. We would especially like to encourage parents to consider joining our team so that we can continue to offer this service to your children. Prior experience is not necessary, support and training will be provided.
