Children's Schedules – What’s Happening for Kids at Holy Family Patchway

Looking for a clear picture of what’s on for your kids this week? Holy Family Catholic Church in Patchway runs a steady line‑up of activities that mix faith, fun, and learning. From Sunday school classes to weekday after‑school clubs, everything is listed in one place so you can plan without guessing.

Weekly Kids Programs

Every Monday and Wednesday we host a 4 pm after‑school club that blends arts, games, and a short prayer circle. It’s designed for children aged 5‑12 and is free for parish families. Tuesdays are for the junior choir, meeting at 5 pm for a half‑hour of song practice and a quick talk about the upcoming liturgy. Thursday evenings feature a family movie night at 6 pm, with a kid‑friendly film followed by light refreshments.

Sunday mornings start early with a 9 am kids’ Mass that includes a simple homily and a sing‑along. Right after, there’s a snack table and a craft station where kids can make something related to the week’s gospel. The schedule also includes special events like holiday pageants, Bible quiz nights, and occasional day‑camps during school holidays.

How to Stay Updated

The easiest way to keep track is to sign up for the parish newsletter – it lands in your inbox every Monday with the full week’s timetable. You can also follow the church’s Facebook page where we post reminders and any last‑minute changes. If you prefer a printed copy, the bulletin board in the foyer has a monthly schedule you can snap a photo of.

Got a question about a specific program? Just give the parish office a call or send an email. The staff are happy to explain details like age groups, drop‑off times, and any needed supplies. Remember, most activities are open to all children in the community, not just parish members, so feel free to bring friends along.

With a clear schedule in hand, you can match activities to your family’s routine and make sure your kids get the right mix of faith, fellowship, and fun. Check the latest list today and let your children dive into a week of engaging, uplifting experiences at Holy Family Patchway.
