learning about the Sacraments
We prepared for the Outdoor Youth Rosary behind the hall

The kids are excited about participating and practiced praying the prayers of the Rosary
Then we watched a couple movies, did a craft, and and asked for intercessory prayers from the Saints since November 1 is
All Saints' Day
The year started with lots of glow-in-the-dark fun and exploring how we think God sees us.
