12pm – ALL KS2 classes to participate in the first part of the Mass. This will be the entrance hymn, opening prayer and readings. You may hear some of the homily. When you close the Mass at 12:15pm, please do so with reverence. Conclude with grace before meals. Please explain that sadly we cannot participate in the whole of the Mass as this clashes with their food service. It is not possible to watch the Mass in the hall whilst eating as this is not participation and is not reverent. https://www.sgacmat.co.uk/st-gabriel-the-archangel-cmat-celebration-mass/
