St Mary's North Sydney
Family Mass
The 9am Family Mass at St Mary's North Sydney has a long and lively tradition. All are welcome and we endeavour to engage and encourage the participation of children and their families in all aspects of the liturgy.
We rely on the strong involvement and initiative of parishioners and prepare ministry rosters twice a year (February and August). We are always looking at ways to refresh and develop the liturgy.
At present parishioners participate in welcoming, hospitality, collecting, serving as acolytes, communion ministers and ministers of the word. We have regular Sacristy Sunday sessions, when the children are invited to go to a dedicated Liturgy of the Word. This is facilitated by two parent volunteers with support from the parish. Parish-based formation and training are provided.
We seek to grow the music ministry and extend an invitation to any keen singers and instrumentalists as well as parishioners who can assist our existing team in a technical and coordinating role.
All Are Welcome
Children and families are at the heart of this Mass. Everyone is encouraged to participate fully in the liturgy.
Ministry Rosters
Rosters are prepared twice a year in February and August. Parishioners serve as acolytes, communion ministers and ministers of the word.
Liturgy of the Word
Regular Sacristy Sunday sessions invite children to a dedicated Liturgy of the Word, facilitated by two parent volunteers.
Music Ministry
We warmly invite keen singers, instrumentalists and those with technical or coordinating skills to join our music team.
