6th Grade Religion *Week of 1/9-1/13*

Hello 6th graders,

This week we will be discussing the new changes in the Mass! It’s been a bit of an adjustment since the Church adopted the changes and I feel it is important that we fully understand why it all happened.

In order to help with this, please watch this video below. It is a good introduction to understanding the changes. We will look into the changes in the prayers in more detail during Religion class.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Mrs. Sosa
