Weekly School Broadcast This week the children in Preschool - Grade 1 participated in the Liturgy of the Light as part of our Catechesis of the Good Shepherd celebration of Easter led by Mrs. Ekker. This is taken from the Easter Vigil liturgy where the fire and Paschal candle are blessed and that light is shared with everyone in the church. The children also heard part of the sung Exsultet and some Easter readings from the Bible. We reflected on Jesus as the light returning to the world at resurrection and that light spreading all over the world. The children collected the Alleluias they had decorated and buried under the prayer table during Lent and we ended with joyous singing Alleluia and Easter songs!
What a beautiful celebration for our Preschool, Kindergarten, and 1st grade students! We celebrate the Easter Season in the Catholic Church for 50 days. Happy Easter to all!
