Children & Families
We have a dream that our Children and Families ministry will provide opportunities to connect, create, and cultivate relationships with all children and their families. This ministry will seek to develop a culture of welcome from within the parish community, so that everyone feels they belong however messy, noisy, or lively.
To stay up to date with events and initiatives, along with registrations for these, make sure to check out our Linktree below:
Children's Liturgy
We understand that it can be difficult to get your children to Mass on a Sunday but we strive to make it easier for you by offering Children's Liturgy. Once you deem your child old enough, they are able to join trained, Blue Carded and Police Checked adults, along with other children in the Parish Centre for a child-friendly liturgy of the Word on Sundays 9:30am at Our Lady of the Rosary Parish.
If you are interested in joining this ministry, or have any general questions, please contact us - cp.childrenandfamilies@bne.catholic.net.au
Encounter Day & Kingdom Kids Fun Day
Encounter Kids is a one-day school holiday program for primary-aged children.
Together with Evangelisation Brisbane, we host an Encounter Catholic Kids event, which inspires children with fun playground games and engaging craft activities as part of an immersive play experience designed to give kids the chance to encounter the Catholic faith and lead them to their best friendship yet with Jesus!
Our next Encounter Day will be in 2027! More details to come closer to the date.
See HERE a reel that recaps our 2026 Encounter Kids Day!
We also hold a Kingdom Kids Fun Day once a year. Our next Kingdom Kids Fun Day will be on Thursday 1st October 2026. Details to come.
