Children’s Kneeler and Rosary
New to the Blessed Sacrament Chapel at St. John Vianney is a child-sized Kneeler and a Gather and Pray (Montessori) child Rosary.
All parents are invited to bring their children for a visit to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Children can use their own kid-sized kneeler and use the Montessori-based Gather and Pray children’s Rosary during a visit.
The Rosary contains 20 interchangeable discs for the Mysteries, and 10 wooden spheres for the Hail Marys. As the Mystery changes, the child can swap out the discs. With each Hail Mary, a child can place one ball around the Rosary.
Montessori education is a child-centered, experiential approach to learning that emphasizes hands-on activities and is named after its founder, Dr. Maria Montessori, who was both a physician and teacher.
Bonus fact – our Kindergarten – 2nd Grade Religious Education programs and Mary Our Queen Preschool utilize Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, which is a Montessori-based program.
We thank parishioners Gary Babel for constructing the kneeler, Don Klitz for building the Rosary box, and Nancy Navin for donating the Gather and Pray Rosary.
