There are a variety of activities on offer for young people as part of our parish community.
Children's Liturgy of the Word
All children from Primary 1 to Primary 7 are invited to join us for Children’s Liturgy - a special time of prayer and learning during 11.30am Mass.
Children’s Liturgy takes a well-earned break over summer, starts back 17th August.
We're looking to welcome more children into this part of our parish life – and we’d love to see the group grow!
Remember, during the summer, children's liturgy worksheets are available every weekend from the porch.
Beavers, Cubs and Scouts
Meet on Wednesday evenings in St. Bernadette's Hall:
Beavers 6 pm-7 pm
Cubs, Scouts and Explorers 7.15 pm-8.45 pm
7th Clyde Scouts
In our group, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life.
Girls and boys aged 5¾ - 18, take part in an exciting programme of activities that develop character skills like resilience, initiative and tenacity; employability skills such as leadership, teamwork and problem solving; and practical skills like cooking, first aid and generally doing things for themselves.
They participate in creative activities ranging from arts and crafts to drama and song – some even on stage in the Gang Show.
Recently, they have been involved in gymnastics coaching, physiology awareness in STEM, fundraising and community work. In addition to these activities, we are committed to providing our young people with a wide range of outdoor activities and regularly camp (sometimes indoors), go hillwalking, kayaking, and learn camp skills. We’ve even had the Beaver Section (5¾-8) under canvas.
We build their experience in camping as they progress through the sections culminating in the Explorer Scouts camping in the Norwegian Arctic in 2017 and participating in an expedition to the Swiss Alps in 2019.
We also strive to ensure that young people achieve their potential and successfully completely the highest awards each section offers.
Most of our older scouts have achieved their Chief Scouts Gold Award and are working towards their Platinum Award, as well as embarking on the Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award.
All in all, we aim to give the young people the widest range of activities and opportunities we can but, most of all, we have fun!
