Murals and Immigration Dolls

Advent



We are preparing our hearts during this Advent season. We start each week with a prayer service and the lighting of the candles on the Advent wreath. Each child has a Jesse Tree packet that they are coloring each day as they learn all about the ancestors of Jesus, starting with Adam and Eve. We also do a kind act from our Advent chain each day. The kids also made stockings for St. Nick.



We have received the sacrament of Reconciliation as we are getting ready for Christmas. We also helped the parish by switching all of the prayer books to the new edition. Placemats were made for the veterans for Thanksgiving and we will do it again for Christmas.






We enjoyed learning all the different places that our ancestors came from. We created dolls to symbolize our family.
