Annunciation
We watched part of the movie “The Nativity.” I think it gave a visual idea of what it really was like for Joseph and Mary. I narrated the movie as it progressed so that the students could put the events from the bible into context. Luke Ch. 1, 2. http://www.usccb.org/bible/luke/1

Bring our gifts to the manger:
(As a CCD Class, we will bring whatever we have collected but anyone can donate to this cause. If you would like to donate a baby item in place of a Christmas gift to your CCD teacher, we would be honored.)
GIFTS TO THE MANGER
Saint Ignatius of Loyola Military Ministry
Our Parish will dedicate the GIFTS TO THE MANGER program to benefit the Carlisle Family Life Center (previously called Birthright). What better Joy than to have your family and children bring a gift to the Baby Jesus in the Manger that will go to a needy family who has gifted a new life into our world. Please consider purchasing one, or several, of these items and placing them in the Manger located inside the
front of the church on Marsh Drive or in the baskets at the prayer railing of the Shrine Church. This drive will take place during the season of Advent and continue through Christmas day. Thank you for your generosity.
