Week 4: Incarnation + Christmas

Throughout the month, parents should refer back to the essay on pages 249 - 250 of the Parent’s Guide.

• To give your family plenty of time to celebrate the mysteries that you are studying this month, the content is brief yet powerful!

• Learn about the Holy Habit of Attending Sunday Mass and consider how to practice it in your own life and help your children to do the same.

• If your family embraces the tradition of lighting candles around an Advent wreath, any lessons this month could be incorporated into that or done alongside of it.

• Use those essays to help you talk with the family about what they learned last week during the in person session.

  • Why would God become man?

  • How did God keep His promise to humanity?

  • How can we prepare for and celebrate Jesus’ birth in a new way this December?

This week, focus on the Incarnation.

• Above anything else, center your week around preparing for and attending Christmas Mass! Mass times in St. Maximilian Kolbe Pastorate are found below!

• This week is centered around the Christmas story. Pray with the Christmas story together, as it is found in Luke 2:1 - 20.

• We would recommend using Activity 4 on Pages 88 - 90 of the Parent’s Guide.

• The crossword puzzle on Page 76 of the Activity Book may be appropriate for some elementary age students.
