If you happened to attend yesterday’s daily Mass, you saw how beautifully the 5th graders and their teachers organized and led different parts of the Mass for the Feast of the Annunciation. One of our 5th graders even took on the role of the incense throughout Mass. The additional prayers, readings, and songs all added to the beauty of the celebration. It embarrassingly took me until this year to realize that the Annunciation happens exactly 9 months before Christmas, which is pretty darn cool. Fr. Morin also put on display his favorite depiction of the Annunciation, and a number of classes took the time to study and appreciate it before they left the church. Mary is such an important role model to follow, and the 5th grade class did her justice in celebrating her at Mass.
