St.Gabriel’s Sunday School and crêche
Every Sunday during the 10.30
Our young parishioners (age 1-10)
go into the Vestry Hall during the first hymn and are able to explore
Christianity in their own way under the care of Ruth Irvine-
Capel and
volunteers. Ruth is the vicar’s wife and
a primary school teacher. They have two
children, Benjamin (4) and Anna (2).
The
children gather and say short prayer and then are given a task relevant to the
liturgy of the day, working individually or as a group.
There’s a crêche area for younger
children - mothers are welcome to stay with their child if they prefer, but group participation is always encouraged!
The
school ends with a special hymn for the children and then they rejoin the rest
of the congregation for the central part of the Mass, the Eucharistic Prayer.
Father Luke very often shows the congregation what they have done after
If you would like to
know more, just turn up on Sunday morning at 10.30 or contact the vicar.
St.Gabriel’s
has a Child Protection Policy which complies with the guidelines laid down by
