After our school mass, Father Mowery took the time to teach our elementary students about the Monstrance. He showed them how it is used. He asked students if they knew who belongs in the Monstrance. He also asked our students if they knew why the Monstrance was used. Some of our students were on the right track, and Father Mowery filled in the missing pieces. Now, our students are excited for our next Adoration because they know they will be spending time with Jesus in the Monstrance.

Our preschool students made their very own shape people. They chose the shape and color they wanted their person to be, and then they added a face using one of the emotions discussed with their teacher Mrs. John. They discussed what a happy face looks like, excited face, joyful face, angry face, and so on. The students then created these emotion faces on their shape people. Students learned shapes, colors, and what emotion faces look like. Sounds like a fun time!
