These simple crafts will engage children around each day of Holy Week and prepare them for a joyful Pascha at home. Advance registration is required. 

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR PARTICIPATION: 

• Advance registration is required. Please register as early as possible, as participants will receive a list of suggested materials in advance of Holy Week. 
• Materials will not be provided. We recommend purchasing materials in advance and following along with your children during the sessions. View supply list and downloadable packet.
• Crafts are suitable for most children, but adult supervision and assistance will be required as these sessions are entirely virtual.
