Children and Families

Jesus loved children and taught us that we must become like children and we must put children at the heart of everything! He said we’d be in big trouble if we don’t do that!

St Peter’s is a place for children to flourish and grow and know that they belong! We are in the process of building back our special worship-centres for children on Sunday mornings, so for now we are all worshipping together at the Parish Mass from start to finish.

Keeping children safe is a priority for us, and our work among children and young people is within the guidelines of our Safeguarding policy A Safe Church and there’s more information on who to contact if you have any concerns, on our Safeguarding page.
