I wanted to jump on to share a few resources for Sunday Mass. In the quiet we are being offered, let us not forget to give thanks and praise to God and to pray together for the end of the pandemic!

Set up a candle, cross and Bible with a purple cloth somewhere near your streaming device to remind everyone that this is Mass. Have the kids process in with the items and set the stage!

Treat the time like what it is...Mass. This is time for God. Turn off phones, put away toys and participate in Mass just like you would in Church. Did you print the Spiritual Communion Prayer for yourself? You can do that on the livestream page, click the green button below. 

How about the kids? Did you do the Children's Spiritual Communion craft sent on Tuesday? Find my past emails at www.saint-mikes.orgl/elemparent.

Be sure they are participating in the gestures: making the Sign of the Cross, signing before the Gospel, sitting, kneeling, standing at the appropriate times. These are great teaching moments - take the time to explain the parts of the Mass to your child(ren). 

If you would like some help see these resources on FORMED:

Watch Mass at St. Mike on Sunday at 11:15am livestream. You can even invite your friends and family to join you virtually by hosting a watch party on Facebook! Click the blue button to livestream and the green to see the recordings after.

Please note we are also streaming daily Mass at 12:15pm, Monday through Friday. All livestreams are recorded and posted later on the parish website.

We have some dedicated volunteers who have offered to record Children's Liturgy of the Word for St. Mike. Have your children participate by clicking the button below.
