Sacred Heart Church - Catholic Diocese of Portsmouth

Liturgy of the Word with Children

Liturgical Year B Advent 2023 and 2024

This page is used by the Liturgy Leaders of the parish - the links below are those that are often helpful in developing how the liturgy will run. As well as the links below, the Parish uses the "Sunday Lectionary" (Treehaus Publications) and its leaders guide as well as the Complete Book .. by Katie Thompson.  Of course, the most important resource we have is the Word of God and the Holy Spirit !!

The table below is available <here> as a Word document ; it's a 'mini-ordo' that may be used for making rotas or parish resources.
