Chapter 18: The Church Celebrates (The Mass Begins)

 

 

In this lesson your child learned that Jesus gave us the Mass. They also learned about the beginning of the Mass. It is important that first graders participate in the celebration of the Eucharist each Saturday evening or Sunday. It is the center and summit of our Catholic life. That is why we begin the lesson with a simple explanation of what it means to gather with others to worship. Help your child to understand that together we are the visible expression of the Church. Your child also began to learn the responses the assembly makes at Mass. Help him or her to learn these responses by heart.

Mass Booklet

On pages 267-270 of the Grade 1 book you will find My Mass Book. Have your child show it to you. Read it together. Encourage your child to bring it to Mass.
