Use your imagination to create the symbols using whatever materials you think appropriate. Make a hole and a yarn (or ribbon) loop so the symbol can be hung on the tree.
Participation in Liturgy
It would be nice if your whole family could attend Mass together. Choose one family member (preferably a child) who, during the Mass, will bring the symbol to the front of the Church where our deacon will receive it, and place
it on the tree. A commentator will be explaining each symbol as it is brought up. Adults are welcome to participate in making a symbol and having it hung on the tree as well. If you have any questions or concerns, please call Rose Gallagher (609-737-7446)
