GREENSBORO — Kindergarteners at Our Lady of Grace School learned about the rosary in October thanks to a rosary made of cupcakes, courtesy of creative OLG parents.
They also got a brief lesson about the rosary and why we as Catholics pray the rosary to ask Blessed Virgin Mary for her protection and intercession.
The rosary was displayed in the cafeteria during lunch times, and each student got to enjoy a cupcake after taking part in the celebration.

HUNTERSVILLE — Father Leo Patalinghug stopped by Christ the King High School Oct. 21 to talk to students while he is in town for a three-day parish mission at St. Mark Church.
While at the school he gave an energetic and entertaining talk to reach the teens on their level. Using the theme of superheroes, Father Patalinghug asked the kids how they can act as superheroes for others. “God is the author of our life,” he said. “A lot of people think God is not necessary, but God has a plan for you.
Eventually, however, you are going to question the Author. Until you get to a higher vantage point where you can see perspective, you can’t see what a superhero does.
The process of being saved doesn’t always feel good. From now until you get to heaven, you are not saved yet.” Father Patalinghug is the founder of Plating Grace Ministry.
He has a cooking show on EWTN and uses food to bring people together. For details about his ministry, go to www.fatherleofeeds.com.
