Missal Changes Explained for Middle Schoolers
Posted by Danielle Bean in Faith on Tuesday, August 30, 2011
We’ve been talking about the upcoming changes to the language we use at Mass and yesterday I recommended a new missal resource for young children. Now here’s a simple video with an easy way to explain some of the changes (and the reasons for them) to middle school aged children. And it’s not just for kids—I enjoyed it myself!
