This Tuesday, was the Opening of the School Year Liturgy for Kennedy Park (one of the two primary schools of the parish we'll be working with this year). We worked specifically with the Fifth class (so ten-year olds) to prepare an Offertory piece for the mass. They're great singers and did a beautiful job singing "I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light." It was wonderful to get into the schools and to start getting to know the students. We're excited to continue working with the Fifth class for our first couple of "Last Friday" masses we'll be doing with individual classes at Kennedy Park over the course of the year.
Greetings! What are the students lifting up in that first photo? Thanks! mbw
ReplyDeleteFr. Wurtz, Thanks for commenting! The students brought up gifts that represented different aspects of their school, as well as prayers and petitions that they had written out. It was an interesting way of bringing the students into a part of the liturgy that is somewhat neglected here in Ireland.
