St Helen's Youth
At St Helen’s Church children and young adults play a big part in the life of the parish. Children are welcome at all of our celebrations and we have a dedicated youth worker. Some activities provided by the Church include:
Sunday Club
Sunday Club takes place at St Helen’s Church every Sunday while Mass is being celebrated. Your child is able to play with other children in a safe environment and learn about faith and moral issues. Sunday Club is a great means to allow you the time and space to attend Mass without the worry of “looking after the kids”. Children are supervised throughout and come into Mass for the second part. To take part Children of all ages gather in the doorway of Church just before 10am.
Jolly Tots
Jolly Tots is a space during the business of the week where young mothers/father/guardians can gather with the children. It is a great opportunity to meet together with other people from the area. Every Tuesday from 12noon – 2 pm parents and children share some time together in the parish centre and share fellowship. A meal is provided free of charge and there is a small act of worship/ reflection. This group is for 0-school age.
Scout Group
1st St Helen Auckland Scout Group meet in the Parish Centre every week. Currently there are two Beaver Scout Colonies for youngsters aged 6 -8 year old, a Cub Pack for girls and boys aged 8 -10.5 and a Scout Troop for 10.5 - 14 year olds.
