In the beginning of the Family Session, Liturgical Ministries (Altar Server, Art and Environment, Eucharistic Ministers, Hospitality, Lectors, and Sacristans) talk about their ministry. Then, families will be able to walk around the Fellowship Hall and sign up for ministries, either as a family or individually. Next, families will learn about Works of Mercy. Here are activities that will help families learn about Works of Mercy together:
Match the pictures to each of the Works of Mercy (use these posters)
Decide how to live the Works of Mercy as a Family for a year
Play Works of Mercy Game
Then, the students can learn Works of Mercy by grades:
Preschool to 1st grade
Corporal Works of Mercy mini-book
Spiritual Works of Mercy mini-booklet (how to fold)
Grades 2nd to 4th
Grades 5th to 12th
