Sacramental Prep Update
St. Joseph Parish
We are a community striving together for Heaven
What about First Eucharist!?!
- yes!,
- yes, but or not yet...
- or a I have something even better planned for you!
I feel like we are saying a lot of "not yet" to our kids. We can't know the future of how long this virus will disrupt our lives. We will adjust and adjust again and see God through it all! I just wanted to let you know that you can continue to prepare your child for First Eucharist. We do know that it will happen at some time! God wants each of these kids to receive Him in the most intimate way!
In the meantime--let's keep preparing our kids! Have them practice their prayers, participate in online Mass on Sundays (or other days as well) and help them to trust in God. We would have completed Lesson 3 in our Blessed book last weekend and we can continue to complete each lesson together. We've talked about how you are their model in our Catholic faith and now you get to teach it (along with all their school lessons!) as well. I'm planning on creating an alternative "retreat" if that is needed and we will adjust the First Eucharist date as needed too.

Father Kevin's Recorded Homilies
If you go to this link, you will be able to listen to Father Kevin's homily from this weekend. I urge you all to take a few minutes to listen as he spoke to remind us all about how we don't have control.

Faithbooks as part of your child's daily work
As we are all trying to navigate what schooling at home looks like in our families, I encourage you to encourage your kids to spend time in prayer. Have your children write their prayers in their composition notebooks.
