First Eucharist Prep: Blessed First Communion: –  Read pages 146 - 149.  Time was spent inside the Church allowing the children to explore and ask questions as we went through the Stations of the Cross story. The significance of the tabernacle and altar were discussed.  An Easter video was viewed.

We were unable to finish our Last Supper craft!  All materials to complete the craft along with their Blessed Books were sent home.
