Children’s Liturgy
Children’s liturgy is conducted during Saturday Vigil Mass at Wyong, and 8.30am and 5.00pm Sunday Masses at Tumbi Umbi.  The aim is to relate the gospel message at a level suitable to the children’s age group and understanding.  After a brief introduction and a prayer for the children at the commencement of the Mass, they are taken out to the parish centre or to the classrooms where a meaningful liturgy for them is conducted.  They return to the church for the offertory procession.
