Happy Holy Week! This is the most sacred week in the life of our Church and without the opportunity to gather for the week's key celebrations: Palm Sunday and the Triduum - Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday many are disheartened. Fear not! Below are a number of activities you can do at home to keep this week holy and truly learn about and teach your children about this sacred week.
FOR PARENTS:
For YOU!
Try and set time aside to truly celebrate this week. We have all been in quarantine and are a bit edgy, what a great opportunity to remember the sacrifice and LOVE of Jesus Christ!
If you want to understand the Scriptural Holy Week by Dr Brant Pitre. This is a podcast on FORMED. I encourage you to download it and listen to it this week. Listen while you get dressed in the morning or as you clean the house.
FOR KIDS!
I have started a Holy Week page for Families. Check it out at: https://www.saint-mikes.org/holy-week-for-families
