Child and Family Ministry Update
St. Joseph Parish
We are a community striving together for Heaven
Palm Sunday
Just as I was ready to send this out to you, I received this great PDF: Holy Week Guide Booklet on resources from the Archdiocese for Holy Week. Please check it out!
Please do at least one or as many as you can of the following activities as you can together as a family and then fill out the google form with what you did and reflect on the experience. Don't forget to email me (or anyone on our staff prayer intentions for Father to offer during Mass)
Activity 1: Watch 10:30 Mass on Facebook Live
For Adults and Kids! Activity 2: Jesus is Truly Present in the Eucharist!
This weekend, we would have been focusing on the Liturgy of the Eucharist with the kids. I'd like you to watch one of the following videos based on the age of your child. In deciding which is most appropriate for your child, please preview the 2nd video: The Veil Removed. It does an amazing job of showing how all the Angels and Saints are present with us during the Mass, but does have a graphic image of Jesus on the cross. I hope all adults watch it for sure and decide if your 4th grader and older is ready for this.
Most appropriate for K-2nd/3rd grade:

Activity 3: Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
