We Give Our Hearts to Those Who Serve and Their Families
Students who participated in the November service project should bring their hearts to Mass
on Friday, December 6th. They will be collected before Mass and presented on the altar.
KEEP CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS
GIFT OF PRAYER
As you know, that wonderful but often busy time of year is here. We would like to invite you to take a break from your to-do lists and come join your children in prayer during the Advent Season. From December 9-12, every class will be visiting SMM’s Adoration Chapel to offer a gift of prayer for a loved one. We all need prayer, and what greater gift could we possibly give each other than prayer before Jesus in the Eucharist! We would love for every student to have one adult (parent/grandparent/guardian) accompany him/her in offering this gift of prayer in Eucharistic Adoration.
Adults will meet the students in their classrooms at the scheduled times (see below) to sign in and receive a brief explanation. There’s no need to stop first at the front office. Then adults and students will walk together to the Adoration Chapel. After adoration, parents will be dismissed from the chapel, and students will walk back to their classroom with their teacher. It would be helpful to discuss with your children who they might like to offer their gift of prayer for, as you and your child will each receive a beautiful prayer card to fill out and give to that special someone this Christmas.
Please make plans to join us! You truly don’t want to miss this time of peace and quiet in prayer alongside your child. The graces poured out in Eucharistic Adoration just can’t be found anywhere else, not even on smile.amazon.com! We look forward to praying with you!
God bless,
The Christmas Gift of Prayer PTO Committee
