First day of Dementia Prayer Week

First day of Dementia Prayer Week 12th March 
Today a group of small people for they  are toddlers,  are having a Yellow Day, with lots of activities. The new Dementia family Ministry prayer card will be presented to the adults.

​This event has become  a tradition for the Toddler Group of Our Lady of the Angels Parish Nuneaton. They led the way with the very  first prayer box for the parish to place prayer intentions. 

Years later, those first toddlers now in school are taking part in different ways through school liturgy and in class.  Several of the children know first hand about dementia as  their grandparents lives are affected by it.   As a charity we were delighted to have worked with the school  http://olstjacademy.co.uk/ in  developing  a  Lesson Plan which has been piloted  and used in classes with great results.

Our thanks to the teachers, leaders, parents and grandparents for being so generous with their time, prayer and donating  to our work.  

They and everyone will be remembered by Bishop David McGough when he offer his private mass on Thursday 14th March 2019. 

The Dementia family Ministry  prayer card includes a prayer  by Archbishop Bernard Longley and Bishop David McGough which is beautifully produced and available from  
Redemptorist Publications https://www.rpbooks.co.uk/dementia-prayer-card-25-pack  
This all year round prayer card adds to our resources and will help us greatly every day, in our mission of following the mission of Christ himself in doing his Fathers will.
