The Little Church at St. Peters The Little Church at St. Peters on Sunday mornings at 10am Mass. Following the Popes visit we are trying to engage in a greater outreach to members of the Parish who may need a little extra encouragement. The Little Church helps to engage the children, to meet new friends, and to become familiar with the Parish Community and its workings at Mass on a Sunday morning. It also helps the parents who may wish to attend Little Church themselves or remain in church for the Mass. The children return to the church in time for the Offertory Procession. While in the Parish Hall with the Leaders the children learn prayers, sing hymns , and listen to the Readings of Sunday. It also helps the families for Parish Preparation of the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation. All of this is an additional tier to help parents with their responsibility in the Catholic upbringing of their children. See you on Sunday Sacred Heart Church Their is also a childrens group run each Sunday for the young church community at Sacred Heart Church.
