In the Gather, parents and youth compete in banana split races and then break off into their respective groups for a Proclaim that will help them learn more about the purpose of Lent. During the Break, the youth make Lenten trees, emphasizing the balance of giving things up, as well as adding things in. Parents make money trees to help visually motivate their families to give alms often during Lent. The Send is a time of Adoration, remembering that Christ made the ultimate sacrifice and is the one calling us to join Him in dying to ourselves in order to rise again.
