Masses are often used to cele­
brate events at Carrollton. This
year with the direction of new
Campus Ministry director, Mrs.
Ginny Hutton, masses have been
distributed between the schools.
, Each school gets the opportunity
to organize and execute their own
mass. By being able to choose
their, |heme, songs, offertory,
readings, and procession the stu­
dents are able to make the mass­
es their own.
On October 20, 1993 Carroll­
ton celebrated the mass of the
feast of Mater. The Intermediate
School was in charge of organiz­
ing the Mater celebration. The
children chose songs which they
felt represented their attitudes
toward Mater and Mary. The offer­
tory consisted o f Intermediate
students carrying symbols of the
Mater painting and presenting
them to the altar. The primary
students wore pretty pink dresses
to honor Mary and to represent
the color of Mater. The rest of the
school was encouraged to wear
something pink in their hair. The
mass turned out to be very uplift­
ing. After the mass, goute, a tra­
ditional snack, was distributed to
the students.
The All Saints Day Mass was
celebrated by the Primary School
on Nov. 1, 1993 selected girls
cam e dressed up as different
saints and walked up carrying
gifts to the altar in a procession of
saints. During the prayer of the
G/ocjSa faithful the girls walked up hold­
'
ing signs representing different
saints and asked the saint to help
all those suffering in the world.
The mass emphasized music and
was filled with songs specifically
chosen arid rehearsed by the Pri­
mary School.
Both Masses were very inspir­
ing. They were executed flawless­
ly and organized well. Everyone
was able to celebrate All Saints
Day and the feast of one of the
