Children & their Families
We welcome families and children to explore faith matters through being part of our parish life where they can make friends, enjoy making music and get involved in story-telling.
Cathedral Kids
Each Sunday the Cathedral Kids programme is available during the 10am service in the Cathedral. We offer fellowship, bible sharing and an activity or feast for children 4 – 12 years, between the gradual hymn and communion.
We also welcome parents with infants and toddlers who want a space to play.
Young People's Choir
The Cathedral Young People’s Choir is a group of young girls and boys (ages 8 – 14 years) who enjoy singing together. No prior experience is necessary so this is also an opportunity if a child wants to learn to sing.
Young singers can work towards RSCM qualifications and medals. The children join with the Cathedral Choir for concerts and services, especially at Christmas, and for family services at Ormond Chapel.
This group also provides an opportunity for their parents to spend a social time with each other. For more information, see the Music page
BAPTISM AND CONFIRMATION
The Cathedral encourages all children and adults to be baptised and made members of the Body of Christ, the Church.
The Cathedral clergy are happy to meet with families and candidates and to discuss the baptism service and commitment it implies.
The programme Understanding the Eucharist is offered regularly to groups of younger members to help them grow in their knowledge of Christ and the Church.
Confirmation of those commitments made earlier in life is another stage in a person’s faith journey that is readily available at the Cathedral.
