First School Mass Autumn Term

25/10/2024

0 Comments

 
This week we celebrated the first School Mass of the Autumn Term with Thomas Whitehead Academy. The value for the first half of term was Courage and in the readings we looked at God's instruction to Joshua to "Be Courageous" (Joshua 1:1-9) and Jesus' great commission to his disciples (Matthew 28:16-20).
As is it our custom, the pupils led the readings and composed the intercessions. Parents and members of the congregation we also invited to attend the Mass.

The Mass booklet is available here. We keep the traditional format from the Eucharist with prayers (including the Eucharistic Prayer) used at times during the Sunday Parish Worship (here without Gloria and Creed). Similarly, the Bible readings are taken from the New Revised Standard Version or the Good News Bible.
We generally do not use “children’s prayers” as such to minimise the differences between school Mass and the Sunday Parish Mass.
