Tips for Parents during School Holidays

During the School Holidays parents are encouraged to:

• Bring your children to Mass on Saturday / Sunday.
  

• Continue to pray with your children at home every day.
  

• Know where your children are when out and about.
  

• Remember Children will imitate what you do rather than hear what you say.
  

• Your time with them is more precious than any gift you can buy.
  

• Encourage your child to serve at the days appointed on the Altar Servers Rota.
