News from the Catechetical BlackboardThe Power of Prayer!

The first meeting of Family Catechesis focused on Prayer! Nearly 50 children metin small groups to work on the meaning of prayer and building a relationship

with God. Our younger students created a prayer pillowcase a morning prayer

on one side and an evening prayer on the other. They also practiced puttingprayer in motion, learning hand motions to traditional prayers. The older group

created their own hand motions to prayer and made a prayer ring of variousprayers to say during the week. Of course our parents cannot be left out! The

group discussed childhood prayers they had learned, current family prayer practices and sharedwhat new forms of prayer they would like to learn!Think about it!

Prayer comes in so many forms! Traditional prayer, spontaneous prayer, silent prayer, prayer inmotion, liturgy, thanksgiving, intentions, petitions, music and so many more! What is a new prayer

form that you would like to learn this year?Action response:

Challenge yourself to try a new way of prayer and building relationship with God! Read on for an idea thatmaybe you can be part of.

Prayer Partners for students preparing for First Reconciliation!

We need your prayers!Who: Anybody in the community

What: Pick up the name of a student preparing for First Reconciliation and pray for themfrom now until the celebration on Dec. 11, 2010.

When: Names will be available after every mass on Saturday Oct. 9 & Sunday Oct. 10.

Where: Just go over to the hospitality area (think coffee and donuts) and take the name of one of thechildren. Names will be posted on the Lost Sheep cutouts. Take the whole cutout home!

Why: The power of prayer of course! That they may experience the incredible love and forgivenessoffered to all of us from God!
