What is Cherub Church you ask?

Cherub Church is St. Jude's Religious Education Preschool Program, offered during the 10:30 Mass in the early childhood area of the Parish Center basement. Preschoolers, ages 3 to 6, engage in interactive activities to reinforce the Bible point of the day. Through this program, preschoolers develop a sense of community and belonging to the parish of St. Jude.

Hail Mary

Story - Hail Mary

Song – “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”

Song – “Jesus Hokey Pokey”

Game – “Mother May I”

  • Each child takes turns asking, "Mother may I take  # steps?"  The steps can be giant, small, baby, regular, fast, tippy-toes, heal only, hopping, leaping, twirling, backwards, one-legged, crawling, etc. The “mother” replies yes or no.  

Story Magnifier – Mary Puzzles

  • There were no cameras invented yet when Mary lived, so artists have made their interpretations of what she looked like.
  • Work together to put together the four different puzzles of Mary. 

Art – Wreath

  • The wreath is a symbol of never-ending love, just like Mary’s love.
  • Use playdough to make a wreath shape by rolling a long worm and joining the ends.  Add beads in the wreath.
