Leia Reads at Mass

Today was a wonderful culmination of a year's worth of learning and practice: today was the Kindergarten at Immaculata was in charge of the school Mass (which involved the children reading many of the readings)! Leia Rose was one of the first to be a lector volunteer and was given the introduction. I was SO proud of her!

Here is what she read: Out of deep love for us, God tells us what to do to be happy. We who listen to God, and obey God's laws, find true peace and joy. At this Mass, God speaks to us. In the scripture readings we hear prayers, and especially after Communion, God speaks to our hearts. Let our ears be open today to hear God's message for us.

You can also see Kennedy, Kael, Nicholas, Alexis, and Quinten (at the lectern): a few of Leia's friends reading the Prayer of the Faithful. You can also see Sally Kate and Elizabeth bringing up the gifts. And, I must say, Annie behaved SO well with us sitting WAY up front! : ) And after Mass, there was a wonderful reception in Leia's classroom. : )
