WELCOME BACK! This week your family will learn about the Entrance Procession of Mass. Please look over the parent pamphlet before you come to class so you are ready to share the information with your child(ren). 

The leaders will introduce the "Play Church" this week too! I encourage you to always sit with the children and guide them in using the "play church". Carefully open it up and prop the lid against the wall. Then guide the children in setting up the Ambo (where the stories are read), the Altar with the green cloth,then the white cloth on top of the green cloth, bible, chalice, and bowl (ciborium), little chairs where the Deacon and Priest sit, the Holy Water fountain, then the pews. In the pews, place the Saint dolls and other figurines. ****Then place the altar server carrying the cross first, then the Deacon, then the Priest at the back of the church and process them down the eisle to the altar. ***It's important for you to show the children how to play with the church, so they show respect and are careful with the items.*** The children can play with the church during the free time of the class or when the activities are finished. .
