Dear Grade Two Families,
Your children will be receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation this week! It is a beautiful sacrament and amidst their nerves, they are looking forward to having their hearts clean. Thank you for continuing to practice with them as they prepare for this sacrament.
In class, the children wrote about things they do that can injure their relationship with God. Once finished, they got to to shred their paper! This not only helped them understand that their sins are private but also represented what God does with our sins when we go to Confession! Please keep the children in your prayers as they prepare to experience the fullness of this sacrament on Thursday.
Since the beginning of this Lenten season, the class has been given a daily promise to keep. This has ranged from saying a prayer for someone to giving something up for the day or doing an act of kindness. At the end of this week, the children will be taking their Lenten calendars home so that they can continue recording their acts of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving over Spring Break. During the break, your children can choose what they would like to do for each day and record it on their calendar by either drawing a cross for prayer, a fish for fasting, or a heart for almsgiving in the corresponding boxes. Please return the sheet after the break so that they can continue to fill it in at school for the remaining days of Lent.
Here are the reminders for the week:
