Chapter 3: We Belong to the Catholic Church


Your child has learned that at Pentecost the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples of Jesus as the Paraclete, the Helper who would guide the Church. Talk with your child about the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation and what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. Remind your child that the Holy Spirit gives us the courage to live the way Jesus taught. The Holy Spirit is always with us, and helps us carry on the work of Jesus in the world.

A Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Pray this prayer with your family.

God, the Holy Spirit, help us to be fair to one another. Help us to be peacemakers like Jesus.

Tell one another how you can be fair at home and in your neighborhood. Decide ways you can be peacemakers.

Sharing Good News Stories

Peter and the early Christians traveled all over the world to spread the good news (gospel) of Jesus. Have a GOOD NEWS HEADLINES session at home. Share highlights of your favorite Jesus stories with your family.
