Children's Liturgy
During the 10.30 am Mass children aged between 4 and 12 years are invited to the Church hall to celebrate their own liturgy. They hear the scriptures proclaimed in a simplified version, sing and pray together. The catechists help the children to understand the message of the Sunday Gospel. Parents are welcome to accompany their children. The children return to the Church to present the bread and wine for the Eucharist.

Legion of Mary
LOM LogoThe Legion of Mary group meets once a week on Saturdays at 10.30 am in St Edward's church bar extension. The object of the legion is the glory of God through the holiness of its members developed by prayer and active co-operation in Mary's and the Church's work. Members of the legion participate in any form of social service which the bishop of the diocese and the parish priest consider suitable and useful for the welfare of the church. Anybody who would like to know more about the group, its prayers and activities are more than welcome to attend any of the Legion meetings on Saturday mornings. Alternatively you can join members of the group after the Saturday meeting at 11.30 am for coffee and a chat where we can answer any questions you may have about the Legion. Most of the members attend the Saturday 10.00 am mass in church and would be pleased to meet potential new members.
