Eucharistic Prayers for Masses with Children (Pack)

The Church baptises children and therefore, relying on the gifts conferred by this sacrament, it must be concerned that once baptised they grow in communion with Christ and each other. The sign and pledge of that communion is participation in the eucharistic table, for which children are being prepared or led to a deeper realisation of its meaning’

(Directory for Masses with Children 8).
The Eucharistic Prayers for Masses with Children are given here in Irish and in English for use with the third edition of the Roman Missal.

First published in English in 1975, this 2020 edition gives the full form of third Prayer in its two variants (Outside Easter / During Easter), and it includes music for the special acclamations.

First published in Irish in 2020, Aifreann Phobal Dé was specially commissioned for this Irish edition.
Both publications include the complete text of the Directory for Masses with Children.

This Directory relates to the celebration of the Eucharist by and with children who have not yet entered the period of preadolescence.

‘Baisteann an Eaglais páistí agus, dá bhrí sin, agus í ag brath ar na tabhartais a bhronnann an tsacraimint sin, ní mór di féachaint chuige go mbeidh siad siúd atá baiste ag fás i gcomaoin le

Críost agus lena ndeartháireacha agus lena ndeirfiúracha. Comhartha agus gealltanas na comaoine sin is ea an páirteachas i gcuibhreann na heocairiste a bhfuil páistí á n-ullmhú dó nó á stiúradh chuig léargas níos glinne ar a bhrí.’
