Children and Families Ministry 2024

Welcome to another exciting year for the children and families in our parish.

Children’s Church: Children’s Church continues this year weekly at 9.00am Mass at Maroochydore and every 3^rd Sunday at St Peter’s Church, Coolum, it is an opportunity for the children to explore their faith at a level they are able to connect with and understand. The children explore the Gospel reading of that Sunday through various educational mediums (singing, praying, videos and activities) The children are sent forth at the beginning of Mass with a blessing and re-join the congregation at the Lord’s Prayer. All primary aged children are welcome to attend.

Sacramental Program: The 2024 Sacramental Program will begin with our enquiry session for baptised children (aged 8 years or older) on Sunday 11 February at Stella Maris Church at 10:15am.  Parent information night for Confirmation scheduled on 24 April, followed by First Holy Communion 17 July. All information and registration can be accessed from our Sacraments wepage 

Junior Ministers: We have lots of fun planned again this year for our Junior Ministers. Our Junior Ministry involves younger members of the parish who would like to actively participate in our parish by serving at Mass and having lots of fun with your friends. This can be done by being an altar server, a welcomer, a computer operator, or part of the music ministry. This group meets regularly for pizza, fun games and activities. To join this group or to find out more contact the parish office on 5443 3488.

Thank you for Serving: Thank you to the many wonderful volunteers who lead and support these ministries throughout the year. If this sounds like something, you would like to be involved in, please contact the office for further information, or go to the Join a Ministry page and let us know by completing the form.
