Joseph Pretends to Offer Mass

Prayer Altar

We visited a group of sisters a few weeks ago who had a chapel in their house. Joseph wanted to build a chapel in our house. We settled and let him design a prayer altar. Here are a few pictures. We have to build a kneeler of some sort. Joseph is working on ideas for that.

Opera Education

The Piedmont Opera website has excellent materials for children. Opera vocabulary, writing activities and post performance questions for various operas.

Piedmont Opera Education

Tonight is Student Night at the Opera here in Winston-Salem at the Piedmont Opera. We've been going to student night for 3 years now and have really enjoyed it. Two of our boys are excited about going to the opera tonight. The yougest has been dancing around chanting, "I love the oerpa! I love opera night!" Tonight we will see Die Fledermaus. I am sure it will be fantastic.

If you don't live in our area, check with an opera theater near you. I have found that many have student nights.
