 What's one thing you can do today to Make time for GOD? Grace Once a Day can be found by doing just one thing. Here's what you can do today:

Happy Easter!

This is a great activity for today. Maybe before your Easter Egg Hunt, just a quick movie and time for reflection and discussion with your littles. (Thanks to my Cousin Elsa Amboy and her ministry for sharing this activity)


Easter Video

    Easter is here! Take some time to watch this video and remember the story of the greatest miracle of all! 

Reflective Questions:

  1. Why did Jesus have to die? (To forgive our sins)
  2. What does it mean to forgive someone? 
  3. Why is it important that God forgave our sins? 
  4. Is there anyone in your life that you need to forgive?
  5. Is there anyone in your life that you’d like to forgive you?

 What's one thing you can do today to Make time for GOD? Grace Once a Day can be found by doing just one thing. Here's what you can do today:

From Father Brendan of Holy Spirit Church in San Jose...

I'd like to suggest three things to do for our Holy Thursday celebration before I sign off. 

  • First, perhaps bake some bread together as a family to prepare to celebrate the Mass of the Lord's Supper,
  • second prepare a family worship space with a candle, a crucifix and some flowers, and
  • third plan to wash each other's feet before Mass begins. We won't be able to wash feet during our Mass this year but you can do it for us instead....  


"See" you a mass tonight ... either on our website www.saintgregorychurch.org or via www.facebook.com/saintgregorychurch
