Sydney's Mass

Each week, the Kindergarteners – 8th graders have an all-school mass on Friday. Sydney’s kindergarten class was in charge of the school mass this week. Her class did all of the readings, led the songs, brought up the gifts, etc.

Today was also the day that her school was celebrating Grandparents’ day. All grandparents of children from each grade were invited to come to mass, have breakfast, and then participate in other classroom activities for the rest of the day.

I got to the church about 15 minutes early to get a good seat. It was a good thing I was there early because by the time I got there the church was almost full. Also, they had a special area for the Kindergarten parents since their kids were leading the mass. By the time mass started, I didn’t see one open seat. Here is a picture of Sydney when she saw that I was there.


This had to be one of the cutest masses I have ever been at. They broke up the readings between the kids so there wouldn’t be too much for one child to have to read. To see each of those kids go up to the podium, climb on the stool to reach the microphone, and read in their little voices was so adorable. They even had some children go up to a microphone and lead the songs. Some kids you couldn’t hear with the microphone and some looked like they were ready for Broadway!

Sydney had been working on her lines this week. She was very proud when she told me last night that her teacher told her “You don’t have to practice anymore. You are great!”

Here is a quick clip of her doing the reading today. Her lines were:

“The Rosary is a living prayer, because as we recite the Our Father’s, Hail Mary’s, and Glory Be’s we meditate on the mysteries in the lives of Jesus and Mary.”

Great job Syd!
