OLS students participate in ‘Praying with Pals’

Kindergarten students at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School recently participated in several activities geared toward teaching the importance of prayer.

The activities were a part of “Praying with Pals,” a day that aims to teach about praying and make the activity enjoyable for students, said Mary Stephens Pugh in a press release.

The day included Mass, the blessing of rosaries, praying the rosary and silent meditation in the adoration chapel. When students were praying the rosary in the school’s memory garden of the good shepherd, OLS Associate Pastor Father Wilfred Emeh took part. Principal Mary Jane Dorn was also a mystery reader for students.

At the end of the day, students’ parents, grandparents and friends joined them for a prayer service, which was led by Christine LaRussa, director for religious education and kindergarten teachers Dawn Philbin and Cindy Westbrook.
