We have some discussion questions to go along with the video. Depending on your kid's attention span, you can break the discussion into two parts, or save it for the end.
After the first half (around the 12:00 minute mark), take a minute to chat together:
To finish off Part 1, it's time to grab some glue (or a glue gun) and create special memento to help your child remember the day of their Baptism and also the time they spent with you preparing for First Reconciliation.
You will need:
With the materials provided, line your 12 popsicle sticks side by side.
2. With the 6 small popsicle sticks, glue them in place as shown below. Let dry.
3. Decorate the flat side of the picture frame allowing space for your child’s photo from their Baptism.
4. Glue the bamboo clothes pin in place on the back as shown below. (This may take a bit of wiggling to find the right spot for it to stand). Let dry.
5. Attach a photo from your child’s Baptism
6. Send us a photo!
Send Julie a photo of your child's craft and we will post all photos on the parish website.

Our Father, who are in heaven, hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you
among women,
And blessed is the fruit
of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Glory to the Father
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning,
is now and will be forever.
Amen.
Jesus Christ,
Son of the living God,
Have mercy on me, a sinner.
OR
Dear God,
I am sorry for doing wrong. Please forgive me all my sins. I know you love me very much. Help me to love you in return and care for others as you do.
Amen.
