Nativity of Mary

In early September families of Little Way Home Educators gathered at LaSalette Shrine in Attleboro to celebrate the Nativity of Mary.

The children walking around the Shrine's beautiful Rosary walk.

The children played games and sang songs while at the same time learning the story of Sts. Joachim and Anne and the birth of our Blessed Mother.  Although facilitated by LWHE co-coordinator Dani, the children really drove the conversation as we discussed the birth of Mary and how we can all strive to be "little Marys and Marios".  They also inspired impromptu prayer and singing that was not initially even on the agenda! 

Discussing the events leading up to Mary's birth.

Singing Immaculate Mary

After our lesson and games we gathered for snacks before attending Mass in the Shrine church.

This was a wonderful time for faith formation, new friendships and most of all fun!  We are looking forward to providing more opportunities like this throughout the coming year.
