A Catechist's List for Lent

 This is what I've got planned for my grandkids, ages ten and six:

Tuesday before Ash Wednesday  --  a Mardi Gras party.  I'm making a king cake and pancakes.  We'll make masks and necklaces.  All this is after the religion lessons.

First week of Lent  --  Burying the Alleluia.  Stations of the Cross which will continue every week unless the grands are bored.

Second week of Lent  --  making pretzels,that is a prayer posture you know.

Third week of Lent  --  making hot cross buns. Don't forget the nursery rhyme.

Fourth week of Lent  -- planting shamrocks along with the story of St. Patrick using the shamrock to explain the trinity.

Fifth week of Lent  --  explaining the Last Supper and washing the grands' feet.

Sixth week of Lent  --  making resurrection rolls.

First class after Easter  --  we'll resurrect the Alleluia.
