On March 12th, Family Formation is sponsoring the Stations of the Cross featuring some of our 6th graders leading the prayers.  We will be using the meditations from the Step Up Close to Jesus booklet, included in this month’s Family Formation packet.

1. All are invited to come.  The readings are short and easy for kids to understand.  There will be lots of other families there, so you don’t have to feel like yours are the only squirmy kids in attendance.
2. We are giving some of our 6th graders the honor of leading us in prayer.  If your 6th grader would like to be one of those reading a short meditation, contact us right away. There are only a few spots available and they will fill fast.  The commitment involves practicing a little on your own ahead of time and being able to come early that day for a short rehearsal procession with a microphone.

Throughout the Church year, Fridays are traditionally set aside as days of penance as we recall our Lord’s death on Good Friday.  It’s especially appropriate to adopt that practice during Lent as we prepare our hearts and minds for the great celebration of Easter.
