This month we learned about St. Katherine Drexel (Katie). One of the Moms from our home school group, who is also an accomplished author, treated us to a wonderful story about Katie's life as a child, discernment, and great works of charity. Afterwards, the kids split into groups and played a game that reinforced the importance of saving souls over the importance of money. (If you don't know about St. Katherine Drexel, she gave away all 12 million dollars of her inheritance to the poor!) The kids had lots of fun playing the game, but were even happier to receive a traditional Lenten treat: home-made pretzels. Yummy!
As we were leaving, one of the kids said, "I am so glad we came!" All the others chimed in, "Me, too! Thanks, Mommy!" Oh, the joys of the little things in life. :)
