“…one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and one Father of all…”Ephesians 4:5-6
This week at CHOSEN we had the great joy of welcoming some new members as we began a new 8 week unit on the Sacraments. To start off we learned about Baptism and all of the gifts and graces given in this; the first of all the sacraments. In baptism, we are united to Christ as His child and freed from original sin. Through our baptismal promises, which we renew every year at Easter, we enter into a covenant with Almighty God which gives us the promise of eternal salvation. We also learned the importance of Holy Water and that, when we enter the church and bless ourselves, we should be reminded of, and grateful for, the great gift of our baptism. We should mark the anniversary of our baptism every year with a celebration! We also enjoyed a tasty snack and tested our knowledge with some fun activities! Grade 7 and 8 students, please join us for our next meeting Tuesday, May 1st 7-9pm, St Mary’s School. New members are always welcome!
This week at Ora et Labora we learned about the Crusades – historical facts and prevalent myths! We also enjoyed a game of basketball and social time with pizza and snacks. We also went over details about our upcoming bus trip to March for Life on May 10th and 11th. We wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to each one of you who contributed to our fundraising campaign! You will be in our prayers as we make this trip! May God reward you for your generosity!
