Church Tour!

Father showed us the Baptismal font and Easter candle

Yesterday we walked to Corpus Christi Church.  Father Bedard graciously conducted a tour of most areas of the church, even those we typically do not see when we go to mass. Each student was encouraged to take a Lenten medallion,

beginning or no end.

which they can keep in their pocket to remind them of this most important time in our church year.  Check out the photos of our visit.

In the afternoon, we completed a map of the church and organized some additional information that Father Bedard gave us.  This material could appear on the test that we are having on March 9 as well.

In the classroom, we have watched an American production of the Parts of the Mass, twice.  I have included a link here, in the event that anyone wished to watch it again as they prepare for the test.  Click here to view it.
