All children are warmly invited to participate in our joyous Children’s Christmas Mass. To prepare, we have planned practice sessions after the 10 AM Mass on the following Sundays: 1,8,15 December with a final run-through on 22 December. Each session will last about half an hour.
Roles available include Angels, Shepherds, Stable Animals, Mary, and Joseph. There are also speaking parts for Readers of the Prayers of the Faithful and the Gospel story.
While the children rehearse, parents and caregivers are welcome to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee after Mass. If you’re unable to attend the rehearsals but would still like your child to be involved, please contact Susanne Bragge at Sacraments@ffcp.org.au or the Parish Office at 02 9451-5097.
We look forward to celebrating this wonderful event with you all!
