Celebrating Advent

Celebrating Advent is a Master Set designed to help people come to a greater awareness of the holy season of Advent. The prayers, activities, skits, projects, puzzles and games included in Celebrating Advent highlight the various aspects of this season that prepare for the feast of the Nativity.

The Jesse Tree Book

The Jesse Tree Book is a Master Set that provides pastors, principals, DREÕs, teachers and catechists with materials and resources for a Jesse Tree celebration. It includes black-line master sheets for planners and participants. This set offers suggestions for celebrating the Advent season with shared meditation and prayer, classroom and home activities, and learning aids focusing on the meaning of Christmas.
The People of Advent MasterSet is a flexible, adaptable theme for use in a parish, especially when incorporated into the Sunday bulletin. It uses the stories of the Old Testament persons who are read about in the Sunday readings to assist us in relating to the faith, hope and courage they portray.
The O Antiphons Book includes black-line master sheets for planners and participants. This set offers suggestions for celebrating the Advent season with shared meditation and prayer, classroom and home activities, and learning aids focusing on the meaning of Christmas. The ornament patterns included in this set can be used as a group or classroom project or sent home for a family activity. Making the ornaments and discussing the meaning of the titles used in the antiphon prayers are excellent activities for Advent retreats.
The resources in The Twelve Days of Christmas Book branch out from the traditional song of the same name. When most people hear of Òthe twelve days of ChristmasÓ they think of the song. Traditionally, it is believed that this song had its origins as a teaching tool to instruct young Catholics in the meaning and content of their faith.
The Book of Nativity Puppets & Figures is a Master Set that provides DREÕs, teachers and catechists with materials and resources for celebrating the Christmas story with children. It includes black-line master sheets with patterns to color, cut and assemble into puppets and figures. They can be used as hand puppets or set up in a Nativity scene.
The Christmas Alphabet is a Master Set created for children in pre-school, kindergarten and primary grades. Teachers and catechists are encouraged to use it and custom design it according to the needs, abilities and interest level of their particular group.

Gathering Prayers for Advent and Christmas

Gathering Prayers for Advent and Christmastime is designed to help communities of Christians celebrate these holy seasons by raising their hearts and mind in prayer. Christmas, and the four weeks preceding it, is a busy time in the lives of parishioners, teachers, catechists, and students. These prayers services help to make it a time of spiritual renewal, a time of sharing, a time of gratitude, and a time of joy and peace.
Prime Time Prayers for Advent and Christmastime is a collection of traditional and contemporary prayers, meditations, and reflections for use during these holy seasons. Each prayer is a single sheet black-line master, easily added to agenda sheets, programs, or other notes distributed before meetings held during the Advent or Christmas seasons.
Celebrating Christmastime is a Master Set designed to help people come to a greater awareness of JesusÕ presence among us. The prayers, activities, skits, projects, puzzles and games included in Celebrating Christmastime highlight the various aspects of this season. They help make it a time of remembering that Christ was born into our world. The customs and traditional practices make Christmastime a special time for communicating the meaning of the Christmas, the birth of Jesus among us. This Good News brings with it a celebration of joy, peace and goodwill.
