Every grade at St. Joseph has their own saint. They celebrate their saint day by learning everything about the extra ordinary deeds that the person did in the past which led them to become a saint. The fifth graders had their Saint Day celebration last April 6th. I always attend the mass during their saint day because it makes my kids feel very important when my husband and I are there. Most of the times, my husband is at work so I tried my best to be there for them.
Having this kind of activities in school teachers the kids so many things. They learn to speak in public as they participate in the readings and it help them conquer their stage fright. It also teaches them the religious aspect of life. She read the responsorial psalm.
They also played the bell. Rylie joined the bell choir last year and she likes it.
I am glad that music is a big part of St. Joseph because that's where my daughter's interest is. She is not much into sports but she loves participating in arts and music activities.
Come June, our parish priest will be leaving. We will have a new priest.
I like it that we are given the chance to take pictures after the mass.

It's so nice to have the kids participate in church, it makes you proud. Music is definitely a huge part of the Church and it's nice to see your daughter enjoying what she does!
ReplyDeleteYour kids are blessed to have parents like you and your husband who always make it a point to be there in the important milestones of their kids. Your presence in occasions like this makes them feel really loved.
