Confessions are heard immediately following Mass on Thursday evenings, or by appointment. Confession times before Christmas and Easter are given on the newsletter, or can be arranged by appointment.
Children are very welcome at Worship. We have a children's corner - which can act as a 'breakout' space for children and carers. We also have special events for children. Kharis, our Sunday School for 5-11 year olds meets during the Sunday 11am Mass in term time.
We have begun a Fresh Expression of Church. We call it Munamato. It's each Tuesday morning at 8.30am, at St Chrysostom's Primary School, during school term time and is a special time to explore spirituality and prayer for any children at the School, parents or teachers who would like to join us.
Another Fresh Expression is on the First Saturday of the month at 5.30pm when St Chrysostom's hosts Communion, an initiative of Manchester Diocese and St Chrysostom's. This is Holy Eucharist with a special invitation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered people, their families and friends.
