Children’s Liturgy Group (CTK)
Christ the King Children's Liturgy Group
is in trouble!
The Group has been going for 14 years, but
the original Leaders’ children are now all
grown up and they have different priorities 14
years on. A drive for new leaders last year
produced a few leaders but more are needed.
The Children's Liturgy Group would
specifically like to thank all the leaders who
have helped over the years, and the many
young people who have helped through the
Pope John Paul II Programme. Many children
from reception class to P4 have benefited (as
have their parents) from their time at Liturgy
Group. We hope that it will begin again
however, for the present, due to the lack of
leaders, the Group cannot re-commence until
we get more volunteers to help.
If you would like to volunteer, please give your
name, postal address, mobile and landline
numbers and email address into the parish
office as soon as possible. Thank you.
