Preparing For Mass
We would ask all schools to begin to prepare for the celebration of Mass by sharing the details of the Liturgy with those who will be attending. Pupils should be reminded of the different parts of the Mass and encouraged to become familiar with the gestures and postures during Mass.
A Mass booklet has been produced and will be sent to all schools. We would ask that each school uses this to assist their pupils to prepare for the National Mass.
To assist with the preparations for Mass, a link to a recording of the Hymns and Mass parts will be available on the SCES website and details sent to all schools by the end of April
