3. We completed Chapter 3. Focus was on how we prepare ourselves to celebrate God’s presence at Mass.   Recall the concept of sin, and God’s forgiveness and mercy.
4. We completed Chapter 4.  Focus was on listening to God’s word at Mass. The definitions of the vocabulary words are on page 102 of their book.

2. We completed Chapter 6. Focus was that during the Eucharistic Prayer, we remember that Jesus gives us the gift of himself. Important words from this chapter are Last Supper, Consecration, and Eucharistic Prayer. The children should be able to correlate what happened at the Last Supper and the words we hear during Mass.  They should also be able to identify page 55 as one of the most important pages of their book.
