Today as the Ladies Choir began their well earned rest, the choristers from the Cathedral School came to sing during the 10.30am Mass.
Whilst older pupils stayed in church and helped Fr Kevin with his homily, younger pupils joining us for Children's Liturgy, both heard and practically experienced the message of today's gospel. Given the weather we took the opportunity to have children's liturgy in the cloisters with the statue of St Therese of Lisieux to keep us company!
The children listened carefully to the Gospel and then we shared where we listen to Jesus. After talking about what we had in common with Mary, we then thought about Martha and her actions. As we had said our prayers, listened to God's Word, we then helped serve our parish community by picking up some of the weeds that were beginning to appear.
St Peter's Keys
After Mass children and families were given pictures of St Peter and his keys. During the summer everyone is invited to see where they can take St Peter's keys. If you didn't get a picture then please use the one on the left, or simply have a photo of you holding a set of keys, like one of our young parishioners from last year. Another idea is to look for other statues, stained glass windows of St Peter in other churches.
