A message from Youth Minister, Greg Boulden. Not only does Tommy need your prayers, but I want to make sure the family can physically feel and see our support. So please, if you could help in this endeavor, heres the plan. Create a Spiritual Bouquet Tonight at youth group, all are welcome to join us as we make these. The idea is we will use construction paper and write prayers to the family and attach them to the pipe cleaners. We will then place the prayer bouquet in vases. I will personally deliver these to the family. Come join us tonight at 6:30pm. In addition to creating this, we will also be cooking a casserole meal for the family. If you cannot join us, and would like to make one and drop off to the Parish rectory, here are the instructions so your family can still participate. Please bring these to the rectory on Monday. Thank you, Greg Boulden Director of Youth Ministry How to Make a Spiritual Bouquet callherhappy/how-to-make-a-spiritual-bouquet/ Supplies: Construction paper Scissors Markers Hole punch Pipe Cleaners Pre-cut the flower shapes from colored construction paper. Another option is to take an existing drawing and cut the flower from it. (Seriously, you know you have more art than you know what to do with.) Your prayers can be written on the petals of the flower, or on the leaf. Another idea is to give a bunch of small flowers with each color flower representing a specific prayers. (For example, ten blue flowers for the Hail Marys, one red Our Father and one yellow Glory Be for a decade of the rosary.) For the stem, punch two holes into the center of the flower and weave a pipe cleaner through and fasten at the top, behind the flower. Cut two slits into the leaf and slide up from the bottom. Viola! Easy peasey! Older kids who want to ratchet up the wow factor, might prefer making more complex tissue paper flowers. Spoonful has a good basic tutorial. A small tag affixed to the flowers can list the prayers or state who the bouquet is from. So come on SJB, lets help a wonderful 11 year old and his family and send them our love!
