Children’s Maundy Thursday Workshop
We’re inviting children (Y1 and above) to come to a workshop in the parish room to explore the Passover and the events of the last evening that Jesus spent with his disciples. The workshop will begin at 2pm on Thursday 20th March (the first day of our school holidays) and we invite the children’s families and other members of the parish to join us at 4pm for a simple liturgy in the church (not a Mass.)
If your child would like to come, or you want to find out more, please pick up an invitation from the parish room, or find the one that should be in your child’ book bag, and return the form to school, to church or Ali Bath or Jo Ruane as soon as possible. Helpers always needed – see Ali or Jo.
