From our Youth Minister:
Youth Mass
Our final Youth Mass for the year will be held on 22 December 2019, at 5.30pm at St Michael's, Kaleen. The Youth Mass dinner is done in a potluck style, where all parishioners have a fellowship. This has greatly helped our parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help grow as a community. All young people are invited to partake in this, including playing any instruments in the choir, reading, procession, etc. Feel free to contact me if anyone would like more information.
Children's Liturgy 
There is already a Children's Liturgy at St Monica's and we have been planning to kick start a weekly Children's Liturgy at St Michael's on Sunday's at 5.30 pm. A set of guidelines have been done up and approved by Fr. Loi, our Parish Priest. We would also be using the same materials as the ones that are currently being used over at St Monica's.
We were looking to have a trial run in December to see how it goes but due to circumstances it has been pushed to begin in February 2020. We are currently looking for more volunteers to help out so we can develop a weekly roster. There has to be 2 adults present during the liturgy. Please ask around if anyone would like to be a volunteer and let me know.
Children's Liturgy at St Michael's would however be held during Daylight Savings due to safety concerns when the children would have to walk from the parish to the parish office in the dark.
