Advent is upon Us
With the dawning of Advent two events are upon us: the first is that we are beginning a new church year and the second is that we are waiting, in anticipation, for the coming of the Christ Child. There is no better place to be at this time of year than at St. Chris where we are free to know the true reason for this season, where we can talk openly about our faith as Catholics, and that we are class, by class, seeking to show the children what Jesus' birth meant and means to the world.
In 3S we are exploring our own quest for Christ with a religious version of the Elf on the Shelf. We are making use of "The Shepherd on the Search" to help each child explore his or her own journey to find Christ in his or her life. Each day a child will be able to bring home the Shepherd and, through prayer and discussions with his or her family, write about this adventure of discovery.
May God bring you and your family true peace in your pursuit of Christ!
