To Parents and Catechists: This experience guides the children to quietly celebrate through story and meditation, the peaceful example Saint Pius X set for us. Have scissors and straws or pencils available.

We Celebrate Saint Pius X

Listen to God's Word
God blesses all people with peace. From Psalm 29:11

Be still. Pray slowly.
God's peace...
God's peace in me...
God's peace be with me always.

A Story of Saint Pius X
Long ago Saint Pius X was the Pope, the leader of the Catholic Church. He met with world leaders. He tried to bring God's peace to all.

Pray in Your Heart
Be still. Pray slowly.

Jesus, I pray, let peace begin in my heart.
Peace be in me...
Peace be in my home...
Peace be in my neighborhood...
Peace be in my school...
Peace be in the whole world.

My Prayer Goes On
Make a peace prayer wheel. Cut along the broken lines. Put a straw or pencil in the center.

Calm yourself by spinning the wheel. Make peace by sharing one of the signs of peace pictured on the wheel.
