Family Prayer Time  Lots of tips and tricks to make it fun!
Even for those who don't like it ;)

1st grade will meet via Zoom twice a month

PreK3-Kindergarten will meet once a month via Zoom

In the PreK class children learn a lot!
~ How to bless themselves with the Sign of the Cross
~ The Glory Be
~ And some (if not all) of the Our Father
~ Along with watching a fun prayer video (Brother Francis) at the start, listening to stories about the Season or the readings at Mass that day, making crafts, play games and have FUN!
Each month you will get an update on what your child learned in class.
There will also be suggestions on how you can reinforce the lessons at home.
You can access that by clicking here ->/prek-syllabus

In the Kindergarten class children learn about the same things as
PreK and MORE!
Added to the lesson is:
~The Hail Mary
~An age appropriate deeper look into the Sunday readings
Prayers can be found by clicking here ->/infant-2-years-old
OR here ->/reconciliation-prep   
Both options are great for this age!
Each month you will get an update on what your child learned and what needs/can be done in between classes.
You can find it here->/kindergarten-syllabus

In this class the students:
~Review their basic prayers 
         They should already know how to say-
                  -The Sign of the Cross and bless themselves
                  -The Glory Be
                  -The Our Father
                  -The Hail Mary
                  -and respond to
                           ~The Apostles Creed at Mass
                           ~as well as Most of the responses at Mass
It is OK if they do not know them yet. Today is a new day and a fresh start!

We do not add any prayers to their list at this time
Prayers can be found by clicking here ->/reconciliation-prep
~They learn about 7 different areas of our Catholic Faith in an age           appropriate manner
           -Revelation: We are Created by God
           -Trinity: Holy Trinity, Holy Family and the Bible
           -Jesus Christ: The Healer, Teaches Love and Teaches Us to Pray
           -The Church: Responding to God, Church Guide
           -Morality: Making Choices, Showing Sorrow

***Please note that this 1st grade class is extremely important but not a prerequisite for 1st Reconciliation and 1st Communion classes***

If you are unable to have your child participate in the classroom we can provide you with a student book. You can then go over the chapters as a family.
You will not be left in the dark! We are always here to help!
