Children's liturgy of Word
During the month of October we will begin the Children's Liturgy of the
Word. This liturgy will take place at our Sunday mass and I invite
volunteers to assist. It is a very simple liturgy with the kids and all
materials are provided. Please let us know if you are interested in
sharing in this ministry.
Church Cleaning
Are you interested in cleaning our church once per month? It only takes
one hour or so of your time to do the monthly cleaning of our church. We
do need volunteers and I believe it is a time for the younger folks of the
parish to support this work. Our seniors have done this work for years and
now it is time for the younger generation to get involved. Please call the
office and submit your name.
Effective Parenting
It's never too late to be a great parent!
We can learn what our adolescents need by listening and observing. Are you
an approachable person? Can your teens ask you questions? Are you
available when they need you? You should be. Trust yourself. Use common
sense. Look things up if you do not understand. An adolescent does not
usually rebel against his/her parents but against their power - it feels
unfair and unjust. Give them room to make their own mistakes. Teens need
to set some of their own limits.
Because "belonging" is seriously important to teens, they often
form a society of their own with new fads in appearance and slang
expressions. These things spread as fast as spilled water and change just
as quickly. Accept them.
Your teens need your respect and recognition. Let them share in some of
the family decision making. Encourage responsibility by making use of
their abilities and remember to give them praise, love and understanding.
Have fair expectations of teens. You should treat teens as you would like
to be treated. Remember, they are not children any more, even though they
may make inappropriate decisions at times.
Communications with Teens
Speak with respect
*The environment in which the communication takes place is as important as
the words you speak. Choose time and location carefully, making sure
everyone is on the same level in a neutral spot.
*If things get too stressful, a cooling off period is helpful.
*Learn to express feelings instead of assigning blame.
*Always listen attentively, and never use a "preaching tone"
*Don't worry if they don't feel like talking, respect their privacy.
*Find ways the show your teen what they mean to you.
*Don't be too exuberant in your effort to communicate - actions speak
louder than words.
*Speak to your children about alcohol, drugs and sexuality early in life-
it will make it easier to talk about them when they are teens.
A Walk to Remember
A memorial walk is being held for families who have experienced a loss in
stillbirth, neonatal death, miscarriage or pregnancy losses. Sunday, Oct.
2nd at 2:00pm in Bowring Park on the lawn in front of the bungalow. A
memorial tree will be planted. Parents, families and friends are welcome
to participate in the walk. For info call 777-7919.
