October 2006 Teacher Pattern

Angel in a Jar

Go to the extra effort this October to celebrate the Guardian Angels! Use Ann Ball’s directions in PDF format for an “Angel in a Jar” from Catholic Traditions in the Home and Classroom: 365 Days to Celebrate a Catholic Year.

Discuss why we need Guardian Angels and why God would have thought of “assigning” one to each of us. Does anyone know his/her angel’s name? Depending on the age of your students/children, deepen this conversation and be sure to give thanks for the protection of your angel as well as God’s loving Providence.
