Father led a talk to parents on Prayer and the importance of having a regular habit of prayer.  Students talked about the the importance of praying with the saints and formed the correct prayer cards.   Finally Brendan Barnes taught us how to do mental prayer as a family so we can continue to form our own prayers to God at home.  You can read Father’s handout about Prayer https://stannaugusta.org/family-resources

Father led a talk to parents on Scripture, specifically how to pray with Scripture through Lectio Divina.  Then students rejoined the parents and they discussed how many books, especially children's books, have been influenced by Scripture.  Finally Mindy Kulasa had the whole family practice Lectio Divina as a family.   You can listen to Father’s talk and read his Lectio Divina powerpoint at https://stannaugusta.org/family-resources

Whole Family Catechesis Nights 1 & 2 Semptember 2019
Thank you all for the first two nights of Whole Family Catechesis here at St Anns!  In September we kicked off our Whole Family religious education program with introductions and prayer the first night.  The catechists talked about how Jesus invited people, and Matthew responded by inviting Jesus to his table, as we all invite each other to the table of Jesus.   The second night we played a game “A place at the table” to get used to talking to our family members about our faith. We also have talks the first two nights available from Fr. Marotti “Family Teaching through Prayer” and Fr. Haro “The Family as a School of Virtue” at https://stannaugusta.org/family-resources
