Children’s Liturgy
Children's Liturgy at St Mark's Church is up running this term. It will be starting this weekend.
The Children's Liturgy provides a great opportunity for primary aged children to engage with the gospel in a way that is accessible and meaningful to them. It runs every Sunday at the St Mark's 9:30am mass during school terms. At the start of mass the Children’s Liturgy adult leaders take the primary school age children into the hall for a small lesson and activity about the gospel of the day. Parents are welcome to join the session if they would like. If any parents are interested in volunteering to help with the Sunday sessions, please email Andrew Davies - andrew@smdingley.catholic.edu.au

Prep Prayers in Pyjamas Night
Thank you for joining us for our Prep Prayers in Pyjamas Night. It was a truly beautiful evening, and we are so grateful to all the families and children who came along and helped create such a warm, faith‑filled atmosphere.
A special thank you to our Prep teachers for organising the activities and preparing such thoughtful, engaging experiences for the children. Your creativity and care made the night something very special.
Prayer is an important part of our lives, and nights like this help our children understand that prayer is simply spending time with God — talking, listening, and growing in a relationship with Jesus. It was wonderful to see the children participating so joyfully, especially during the songs and dancing. Their energy and enthusiasm brought so much life to the evening.
Thank you again for your support and for sharing this special time with us. It was a great night filled with faith, fun, and community.
