Just like when we prepared to go to Mass in person, we also need to prepare ourselves before we start watching the livestream of our Sunday Mass on Youtube. The activity is to help children to see Mass as a weekly activity that they need to prepare for. Perhaps every week they can be the ones setting up the area you normally would watch the Mass.
This Sunday, as you sit down in your homes to watch the Mass we are inviting you to transform your living space into a private chapel for your family to watch the Mass.
How can we create a chapel to view the Mass ?
The priest says Mass from the Altar (that is the big table in the church). We can start by creating our chapel by creating a Prayer table
Be creative! Maybe there are some things that are not on this list that would be great for your prayer table. Add it! Ask your children how they would like to set up the chapel & make it look & feel like a church!
If you can find a box, you can place all these items in the box and take it out again next week.
