Each week, on Saturday, a new video will be added to this page.
These videos are the Sanday Mass readings.
It would be a good idea to get a small notebook to write in for the year.
~Attend Mass in person or throught our FaceBook Page or Parish Website
~As a family watch the videos below
~Discuss the Homily at the end
~Answer the questions below each video
~After you write about all of them, see if you can see a connection
1) Who IS the landowner? Servants? Tenants(renters)? Landowner's Son?
2) At Harvest time, what did the landowner send his servants to do?
3)What did the tenants do to the servants? Landowner's Son? Why?
Chose one or more of the following activities to do...and be ready to share a little bit about your experiance:
~Make a "FORGIVENESS" picture
Write "Forgiveness" in the middle of a paper
Each fmaily member writes their own name in a decorative way
As a family write a Thank You note to Jesus for eternal life
and for FORGIVING you
~Pop some popcorn and give each family member a cup of it.
Take one popped corn out at a time
Have everyone say "God forgives us over and over again!"
Each popcorn kernel can remind us of a time when God forgave us.
(you can do this with any type of food that is small)
~Examine your day... Think about where you were kind or less than kind...
Pray An Act of Contrition as a family each night.
Ask God to forgive you when you were less than kind.
Try to turn away from those unkind things.
~If you haven't been to confession in a while... try going one Saturday this month.
Confessions are Saturdays at 3pm in the front vestibule of Church Fr Carlos will be there ready and waiting for you to rebuilt your relationship with God!
Dear God, Thank you that you love us and want us to be a part of your great family and family celebration. Help us to never be so busy that we put other things before you or your son, Jesus. Amen!
Starting with the activity found in the link:
Skit & questions: Wedding Banquet

You can use puppets or make paperbag puppets or draw out the story.... the only limit is your immagination!

~R.S.V.P. 2 GOD BOOK MARKER:

You can even simply write it all on the bookmark and color it in

Answer these questions for each person you would like to invite
Who would you like to invite to a big party?
Why do you want each of these people there?
How would you feel if those who were invited didn't show up?
God has sent you an invitation! Will you go to the party or make excuses why you can't or don't feel like it?
Jesus, we have accepted your invitation to be your disciple.
Help us follow you to God the Father.
Pray as a family the Glory Be to the Father.
