Pope Paul Catholic Primary School

We believe that we are all God's work of art. We strive to respect and care for each
other and to use our talents to do our best to build a better world. By doing this
we are learning in the light of Christ. Amen

Liturgical Celebrations

Liturgical celebrations follow the rhythm of the Church’s liturgical year and reflect the structure of the Mass: Gather, Word, Respond, and Go Forth. Children are involved in all aspects, from setting up prayer tables to choosing scripture passages (for older pupils). As they progress, pupils increasingly take ownership of collective worship, leading elements of the celebration independently by Year 6.

Our practice reflects the belief that prayer should engage the senses, drawing on diverse methods such as:
– Scripture readings and sacred stories
– Music, dance, and drama
– Creative silence and meditation
– Use of sacred artefacts and focal points (crucifix, candles, icons)
– Links to saints, current events, and school themes

This variety helps ensure that prayer experiences are accessible and meaningful for all, deepening pupils’ engagement and understanding of their faith.
