There will be certificates for all Teddies who successfully land within the grounds!

12noon till 3pm.

Bring a picnic, bring your teddies and enjoy a good old fashioned afternoon. We might even have one of our infamous St Marys Raffles too!

Created by JC for everyone, you are warmly invited to join us, whether you come to mass or not, this is a community event.

Please meet 0945 if joining us for Mass, younger children will need an adult to remain with them.

St Mary’s welcomes families every week to join us, regardless of whether it’s an official JC Sunday or not. JC have fund raised for and purchased items, creating a space dedicated to the children and young people of the church community.

We understand that SEN families, children and young people are not designed to sit still and be silent for long periods of time and that Mass can be tricky.

This space allows families to remain included and part of the service, as a family and without feeling stressed or pressured.
