PREP NEWS: Heavenly Parade Coming October 31

  PPREP ~ PARISH RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM
 
Pre School Age Students:  The boys and girls are back on Sunday mornings.  Look for them to dress up as 
S A I N T S” on Sunday, October 31.  Get ready for this heavenly parade during the 9:30 am Mass. You will see many “saintly smiles.” 
 
Don’t Forget to Vote for Your Favorite Saint: Students will be voting for their favorite saint and parents you can too! This survey is a wonderful opportunity to learn and talk more about the lives of these holy men and women as we prepare for this holy day.  The final outcome will be shared right after our All Saints Day Mass on
Monday, November 1.  So, who do you think will be our number 1 Saint for this year?
 
Saint Banners: On Sunday October 31 we need children to carry up some saintly banners during the 11:30 am Mass.  Can you be a witness to your Catholic faith and carry a simple banner DURING a Mass procession?
 
Forty Hours Devotions: Every year our parish celebrates the Eucharistic devotion called “40 Hours.”  We will gather as a parish community during the week of  October 24 and worship our Divine Savior, Jesus Christ who is truly present on the altar in our Main Church.  We invite students from LAST YEAR’S  FIRST HOLY COMMUNION CLASSES  to come dressed in their special Sacrament attire for this special procession.  They will highlight the candlelight procession on Tuesday night, October 26.  We are asking for FAMILY PARTICIPATION THIS YEAR.  Please join us in this closing service which begins at 7:00 pm. Also, Sunday and Monday nights there will be a special service to worship and adore the Son of God, true God and true man starting at 7:00 pm.
 
All the PREP students who attend classes on Tuesday night October 26 will be dismissed at 6:50 pm so that parents can escort their son/daughter up to Church for the Closing of 40 hours.  Light refreshments will be served immediately following the service.
 
 
7^th & 8^th Grade Youth Group: Prayer service, learning, food and fun in school on Sunday, October 24 at 7:00 pm.
 
God Bless you and happy season of Fall,
