During the Sundays
Lent you might see
our children putting these
special envelopes in the
weekly collection.

What's inside these
envelopes?

The children are choosing
from different Lenten
actions such as..

...Praying
...Fasting
...Good Works!
Praying...
This week I prayed in a special way (for example, I went to church on Sunday, prayed for peace, prayed the rosary, etc.)
(The children then fill in how they prayed and put that in the collection basket!)

Fasting •
“Giving Up”...
This week I gave up something I like... (or)
This week I gave up a behavior that wasn’t so good...

(The children then fill in what they fasted from and put that in the collection basket!)

Good Works • Almsgiving
This week I did something helpful...
(or)
I’m giving some of my money in this envelope to help the poor...

(The children then fill in what good work they did and put that in the collection basket!)

Giving isn't just children!
Feel free to add your personal gift to our collection.
