October 13th, Parish Banquet and celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima s Apparition. One of the most fantastic aspects of Our Lady of Fatima s message is that she entrusted it to children. Here is tip 1 (of 5) for guiding children into the heart of the message. The Importance of praying the Rosary for peace. One of Our Lady of Fatima s central messages was to pray the Rosary every day for peace. While the particulars of world conflict have changed since 1917, we continue to live in a world full of anger, violence, and war. Children are aware of this. Depending on their ages, they may be more or less aware of the global stage, but they are certainly aware of fighting in their own families, schools, or neighborhoods. They may feel powerless to help or make a difference. Praying the Rosary is one thing that they can do to help changes lives and hearts, starting with their own. While prayer is not a magic wand and God certainly does not always answer prayer on our timetable or in the way we think best, following the instructions of Mary to pray the Rosary can only help.

This is an interdisciplinary project as it links to their social studies unit, studying our city, and their current novel, Maniac Magee. They spent time looking at the most needed items and then revised their lists, considering how they would make their favorite meal without refrigeration, a stove or oven, or maybe even a can opener. Finally, our school musical, Singin in the Rain, Jr. will be performed next weekend - May 18 @ 4pm, and May 19 & 20 @ 7pm.
