Advent, Lent and Reconciliation Ceremonies

The following are the adapted versions of the resource, Classroom Reconciliation Ceremonies, that was provided to us years ago by Fr. Santos. There are copies to be used during Lent and during Advent. There are PowerPoint presentations to use, with videos included. The teacher plans to have everything the leader is to say at all the different times during the PowerPoint (states what slide to be on).

There are three copies of the celebration are broken into grade levels. They are very similar, the differences are as follows:

K to 2: celebration does not include going to visit the priests for confession, as they have yet to receive the sacrament.
3-5: Videos are more directed to this age group (depending on the grade 5 class, teachers may want to show the 6-8 presentations)
6-8: Videos are directed to this age group.

Planning a School Mass Checklist

This checklist is also a timeline, it has you starting to plan 4 weeks prior to the day of your Mass. However, sometimes this is not realistic, especially in terms of an opening mass. If that is the case please start using the checklist as soon as possible.
