St. Gertrude's Children's Liturgy  

​​

​​

• At St. Gertrude’s, we “shepherd” young children with the opportunity to explore, understand and participate in the Liturgy of the Word, namely the Sunday readings and the Gospel.

• Celebrating the Liturgy of the Word with Children is an encounter with Our Heavenly Father where treasures will be found within the Scriptures.

• Weekly lessons also focus on how children can build a personal relationship with Jesus.

• The Children's Liturgy of the Word assists in the preparation of children's sacraments. 

• Praise, prayer and thanksgiving are the catalysts that make each child’s experience fruitful at their level of understanding.

• Seeds of learning, listening, reflection, communication, modelling faith into action, thanksgiving and fellowship are sown weekly.

• We help children grow in faith with our Catholic roots, we prepare them for full participation in the Liturgy of the Word and we encourage them with confidence and a spiritual sense of belonging in our parish community.
