o Ex: Song- CD: Eucharist We Give Thanks and Praise, Track n. 31 Agua de Vida/ Water of Life Cards that state the meaning of each of the symbols of baptism

Instructions:Leader:

Prior:1. Modify the text of the cards if needed to make the language understandable to the age of the learner.2. Assign or ask for volunteers that can read the cards (spiritual meaning and Scripture) and others than

can bring forward to the prayer space each of the symbols of baptism.a. Water: shell or clear bowl with holy waterb. Light: automatic candlec. White garment or white stoled. Chrism: virgin olive oil (explain that this oil is not consecrated vs. sacred chrism oil)

Note: it is preferable to ask the volunteer to find the passage in the Bible and to read from the Bible in order to encourage familiarity with the Bible and with finding passages.

At the start of the prayer:1. Invite students to gather around the prayer space2. Tell the students that in today’s session we will talk about [baptism, sacraments of initiation, etc.].

Briefly explain what they will see and experience. You might need to go over the song before the prayer.

3. Depending on the learner’s age and level of understanding, ask appropriate introductory questions. Ex, for older and instructed learner: who knows what the matter and form of baptism are?

4. Invite those who have the cards for the symbols to begin reading. After reading the meaning of the symbol, the passage from Scripture is proclaimed and then another participant goes to the prayer space and brings forth that symbol.

5. Once the last symbol has been placed on the prayer space, the leader takes the shell or bowl with holy water and blesses the participant next to him or her with the sign of the cross. Then he/she passes the shell to the next participant. During this part, all can be singing Water of Life/Agua de Vida with the music playing in the background.

After the prayer:

1. Debrief with the students and tie to the coming lesson.

1a. Water

When water, a sign of new life, is poured at Baptism, sin

is taken away and we are called to turn away from sin

throughout our lives.

1c. Water

“Whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life” (John 4:14)

1b. Agua

Cuando el agua, signo de una nueva vida se nos derrama en el bautismo, se nos limpia del pecado. Estamos llamados a rechazar el pecado en nuestras vidas.

1d. Agua

“pero el que beba del agua que yo le daré, nunca más volverá a tener sed. El agua que yo le daré se convertirá en él en manantial que brotará hasta la Vida eterna».(Jn 4:14)

2a. Candle

At baptism, a small candle for each child is lit from the Paschal candle. The priest says, “Receive the light of Christ.” The candle has two meanings: Christ as light of our lives and a sign that we are called to be light of the world.

2b. VelaEn el bautismo, una pequeña vela se prende del cirio pascual. El sacerdote dice, ¨Recibe la luz de Cristo¨. La vela tiene dos significados: Es Cristo como luz que iluminará la vida del bautizado y es señal de que el bautizado tiene la misión de ser luz del mundo.

E & R Catechist Presentation; June 2015; Dept. of Catechetical Services 5

2c. Candle

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not

walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (Jn

8:12)

2d. Vela

“Yo soy la luz del mundo. El que me sigue no andará en tinieblas, sino que tendrá la

luz de la Vida».(Jn 8:12)

3a. White GarmentAt baptism, the church wraps

new members in a white garment which means that the newly

baptized has put on Christ and has risen with Christ. The color white symbolizes the cleansing

of sin.

3b. La vestidura blanca

En le bautismo, nos envuelven en vestidura blanca, que

significa que el bautizado se ha puesto a Jesucristo y ha

resucitado con Jesucristo. El color blanco representa que estamos limpios de pecado.

3c. White Garment

“For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothes yourselves with Christ.” (Galatians 3:27)

3d. La vestidura blanca

“ya que todos ustedes, que fueron bautizados en Cristo,

han sido revestidos de Cristo.” (Gálatas 3:27)


4a. Sacred Chrism Oil

The Chrism Oil is rubbed on the crown or forehead signifying that we are sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Being baptized into the anointed body of Christ, we are

called to be priest, by living a life of prayer; to be prophet, by announcing the Word of God; and to be king, by leading

with integrity.

4b. CrismaEl crisma es oleo perfumado que se unte en la cabeza significando que

estamos sellados con los dones del Espíritu Santo. El significado de esta

unción es que el nuevo cristiano comparte con Cristo una triple

misión como profeta, rey y sacerdote, los cuales eran ungidos

antiguamente.

4c. Sacred Chrism Oil

“He has also put his seal upon us and given the Spirit in our hearts” (2 Corinthians 1:22)

4d. Crisma

“nos ha marcado con su sello y ha puesto en nuestros corazones las primicias del Espíritu.” (2 Cor 1:22)


Becoming an Effective Storyteller

1. Preparation guidelines for telling Bible storiesa. Study the Scripture passage: Learn the history and background. Answer-

i. Who? are people/ characters in the storyii. When? Time when it happened; historical circumstances, what time, the Testament

iii. Where? Name the place and description of the place: big city, small town, where were the people: street, house, field, etc.

iv. What happened? In a summary, brief, orderly, mention important events-Even when using some already prepared material, you need to read and prepare the story from your own Bible. - Why?- The Word of God is inspired, but the narrative you find in, for example, a child’s a Bible may omit some important details or add details that are not in the Bible, or inaccurate in some parts. We need to know the story as it is in the Bible. You will need to adapt the narrative to the level of understanding of the students.

v. God’s working in us: the story will move us to praying with it and to reflect its impact on our life

vi. Use a commentary for your own personal deeper understanding.The St. Jerome Commentary

b. Prepare beforehand (1 week before; develop creative ideas)i. Creativity: Develop a creative way to tell the story (props, drama, visuals, technology)

1) Be aware of the development of how to tell: 4 parts of the story: introduction, middle, top (pinnacle ), ending

2) Arouse interest: Start with a question: what would you do if someone gave you a lot of money? ... I'll tell you a story ... (do not describe the end)- Engage

3) Use creativity: visuals; as you tell the story, ask the children What the Prodigal son should have done at different points in the story (Prodigal Son)a) After he spends all his inheritanceb) When he resorts to working caring for pigsc) When he regrets/ reflects his decisionsd) When he returns home- ending

ii. Search terms(vocabulary) that may be difficult for children to understand; explain difficult words according to the student's level

iii. Learn the story by memory: know your plan beginning, middle and end-write your plan!iv. Have your own bible-tell a story of God's Wordv. Select the story based on the student level

1) Avoid certain stories at different levels2) Consider the length/ duration of the story3) Allow children to internalize the story


A Sample Lesson Plan for presenting Sunday Reading

Theme or Topic: Mark 10:46-52 Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus

Goal or Focus: the sacrament of reconciliation heals us through forgiveness of sins

Objectives: The student will

Know that turning to God requires great trust, faith, courage and a personal desire Explain that God sent his Son to save us Recognize that God wants to be in relationship

Materials:

Prayer space: candle, crucifix, bible, stand, green cloth, holy water in bowl, blind fold cover; closing prayer, cards with alleluia and verse to proclaim before reading of the Gospel: Our Savior Jesus Christ destroyed death and brought life to light through the Gospel.

Vocabulary:

Cloak Jericho Rabunni Son of David- to call someone “son of David” was a special title for the one who was believed to

be God’s Messiah, or savior of the people.

Action Steps:

1. Engage: How do you think it feels to be blind? Can you imagine what you cannot see when you are blind? Was there a time in your life when you had to be courageous? What was it like?

2. Explore Say: We are going to learn about Jesus today. Did you know that Jesus is God’s Son?

Because He is God’s Son, Jesus can do many special things. Today we will hear about one of the special things Jesus did.

Explain the vocabulary words. Lead one child who will proclaim reading walk on a path with blind fold. What do you

see? Bartimaeus was blind. A person who is blind cannot see. If you can’t see, how will you get to the Bible story area?

Have some children process in with crucifix, battery operated battery, Bible and stand. “Sing Open My Eyes Lord” during procession.

o Open My Eyes Lord”1. Open my eyes Lord, Help me to see your face

Open my eyes Lord, Help me to see.

2. Open my ears Lord, Help me to hear you voiceOpen my ears Lord, Help me to hear

Children place all items on table covered with appropriate liturgical colored table cloth. Have each child sign themselves with holy water. Assign one child to hold up a sign the


word: Alleluia so all may join in song. Another will read the verse written on a card: Our Savior Jesus Christ destroyed death and brought life to light through the Gospel.

Repeat singing Alleluia. Have proclaimer bow before the enthroned bible and then say the Gospel according to Mark. Children will sign with the proper sign to hear the word of God. Proclaimer ends with: this is the word of God and hearers respond: Thanks be to God.

Ask children to have silent reflection.

Assessment:

Begin by saying: We heard the story of a blind man. He could not work so he would spend his time on the road begging. Then ask:

1. How did Bartimaeus know that Jesus was passing?2. What do you think was happening in the crowd?3. Do you think the crowd was trying to keep Bartimaeus away from Jesus? Why do you think the

people wanted to silence him?4. How did Bartimaeus catch Jesus’ attention?5. Who does Bartimaeus say Jesus is?6. When Bartimaeus calls out to Jesus, he calls him “son of David.” What might that mean? (For

Bartimaeus who could not see, to give Jesus this special name meant that he was a man of great faith. He recognized that Jesus was the Savior and trusted that he could help him see.”

7. How did the crowd respond when Jesus called out to Jesus?8. What does Jesus say to Bartimaeus? How do you think Jesus regarded Bartimaeus? (i.e.

welcoming, loving, asks others to bring him to him, willing to help him “what do you want me to do for you”.)

9. How do you think Bartimaeus felt when he was healed?10. What did Bartimaeus do after being healed? What do you think he spent doing the rest of his

life?

State: The Church believes that when we have the courage to ask Jesus for help, he will heal us. Jesus assures us that when we respond to his call in faith we will experience healing and “see” things in a new way. Jesus was giving the man much more than physical sight; he gave him the gift of faith, which allowed him to “see” in a new way. Bartimaeus could see Jesus clearly and becomes His follower. We learned that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus tells him that he is saved because of his faith. God always gives us the opportunity to be in relationship with Him. [Catechist develops doctrinal presentation in this part]

3. Behavior. Help the students think how to apply the theme to their own lives. Example:1. Reflect: Prayer: Let’s spend some time contemplating the kindness of Jesus. Imagine

he is walking by. What are some of the things that are troubling you? Do you need His help in something? What would you call him? What would you ask him? Would you have the courage to change? What would he say to you? In what ways have you heard Jesus calling you?

2. Is Jesus calling me to something? What?

4. Decision / Respond. Help the students make a resolution that applies the passage to their lives. It can be in conversation or in prayer. This week what can you do to be in God’s loving friendship? What or who needs our attention and help now? How might I respond to Jesus’ call?


Ex: this week I will pray to be open to the call of Jesus. Or, this week I will be courageous by acting in a loving manner towards…

Worksheet: Blind Bartimaeus http://webzoom.freewebs.com/salfordliturgy/Wordsearch%2030B.jpg

Jesus is Calling you. (From Celebrating the Lectionary for Primary Grades 2015-2016, p. 52).

o Distribute paper and coloring materials, and ask the children to draw pictures of Jesus. Allow them to be creative. When the children have finished drawing, tell them to each draw at least one speech bubble coming out of Jesus’ mouth, recalling the phrase from the Gospel: “Jesus is calling you.” How might Jesus be calling you? What would he say or ask? Optional: those that want to show their drawings to the class, may do so.

Closing prayer: One child reads: Jesus, I want to see.Let me see the world as a sign of your power and goodness.Let me see people who are poor and hungry.Let me see how I can help people.Let me see how people have helped me. Let me see how much you love me. Above all let me see you. Amen.

At home activity Celebrating the Lectionary for Primary Grades 2015-2016, p. 53-54.

“This Gospel helps us to remember to have the courage to ask for help. From time to time, every family has difficult things to get through. Have a discussion with your family members about a time when those in your family needed great courage to get through hard times. How did they act to change their lives, and how did they listen to God’s call throughout the experience? How did someone in your family experience healing? Pray together that your family may always seek to find God in all experiences, especially during challenging ones.”

Conversation Questions: 1) what do your family members teach you about having courage? Are there any stories about courageous things family members did that help you feel courageous? 2) how does your family listen for Jesus’ call? What is Jesus asking your family to do?”

Sometimes we ignore people that need our help and sometimes we ignore the sad things that are happening around us. As a family, spend some time talking together about the story of Bartimaeus. Jesus can give us new sight to see things differently and to be disciples and love others. Discuss how everyone might be better disciples. What or who needs our attention now? How might each of us respond to Jesus’ call?

Catechist……………………………… Level……………………. Date……………………

Topic/ Class title ...The prodigal son………… Book; Chapter………………………

GOAL: The sacrament of RECONCILIATION IS the path to the Father’s House. We will transmit the message of God’s mercy to the children in a way that will be carried with them for life. This catechesis class will provoke in the child – perhaps many more years later – the desire to come back to the Father.

OBJECTIVES : THE STUDENT WILL LEARN That Jesus shows us the immense love that God the Father has for his children That God always forgives and receives with open arms That God always invites us to have a relationship with Him To Appreciate the importance of forgiveness

DEVELOPMENT OF THE CLASS

1. PREPARATION BEFORE ARRIVING TO CLASS

Materials the figures and symbols of history- paper puppetsScripture Readings Lucas 15:15-32

Copies for the activity: strips of prayers to put the events of the youngest Child in sequence

Audio visual: Portrait of the prodigal son work of Rembrandt; YouTube Prodigal Son

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-FH62O_9sI (Prodigal Son in minute 5:30)

2. ORDER OF THE DAY

Opening Activity: Prayer

Prayer includes the celebration of the Word (can be from the Lectionary) and cards with parts of the liturgy: alleluia and verse, gospel response

Motivation Activity: Questions for the children

Today we will work with the parable of the prodigal son (Lucas 15: 11-32). The parables are stories of real life that teach us a moral or spiritual truth.

In the parable of the prodigal son, Jesus, among other things, teaches us the consequences of a rebellious child who asked his father for his inheritance and squandered it. When he ran out of money and was left without friends, he returned home and apologized to his father. Here we see a loving father, willing to forgive his repentant son. http://www.libroparabolas.auladereli.es/

New Words – explanation of words that the catechized should know to understand the Scripture in the catechetical presentation

Parable Squander/waste Inheritance Repent

Explanation

a. First read the bible. Allow a child to proclaim. Use gestures of the liturgy: signal before hearing the Word. Sing Alleluia, the responsorial and the response at the end of the reading.

b. Include a momento of silencec. Repeat the passage in your own words with reverenced. Ask the children questions to determine if they understood:

What was requested of the Father? Who requested it? Why? What happened to the youngest child? Did the youngest child solve his problems? What did he decide to do? What happened when he arrived home? What did the older brother say about his brother’s return? How would you feel if you were the father? How do you feel when someone offends you? Who loves us when we make mistakes? Should we forgive others? Which words would you express if you do something wrong? What should we do when someone asks us for forgiveness?

Application to Everyday Life

Application to EVERYDAY LIFE:

The parable of the “prodigal son” shows us the relationship between God and each one of us. Each individual is like the youngest child who receives his inheritance (life, the world that God made, family, etc.) and spends it on bad activities (hatred, greed, war, etc.) The truth is that God, as the father of the parable, always waits, with open arms, ready to forgive us and restore us to his family. https://www.covchurch.org/pacto-con-dios/files/2010/12/c7110.pdfDuring this week: When we commit sin, do we give joy or sadness to God?... (We give him sadness). Therefore, when we do bad deeds during the week, what is to come? What should we do right away? (We ask for forgiveness, and change our life). Good will cheer and embrace us. If they wish they can repeat the words of the prodigal son when they ask forgiveness for their sins: "Father, I have sinned against you and against heaven". http://www.mscperu.org/domingos/Cuaresma%20Pascua%20Fiestas/cuarpascfiestC/domCcu04ni.htm

Conclusion During the last moments of the class, reflect on what they have learned from the parable. It is important to give emphasis to the key points, that we are all as the younger son, rebellious, away from our “house”; that God is like the father that was waiting for you every day, with open arms


https://www.covchurch.org/pacto-con-dios/files/2010/12/c7110.pdf

to receive you and forgive you; that we sometimes are like the older brother who does not want to forgive, which is selfish. Ask them if God showed them something in their lives that He wants to transform in them. https://www.covchurch.org/pacto-con-dios/files/2010/12/c7110.pdf

Finish in prayer: We pray loving Lord to forgive us for our failures. Help us to be good children.Singing: The Joy of Forgiveness.

Intermediate The Celebration of the Christian Mystery - CCC 1345-55

The Parts of the MassTEACHER-DIRECTED ACTIVITYMaterials: flashcards, (see last page)chalk, chalkboardPurpose: To increase students’ understanding of the various elements in the Eucharistic celebration.

Game IDirectionsMake two columns on the chalkboard, labeling one “A” and the other “B”. In each column write the following words, but list them in different order in each column:HomilyGatheringIntercessionsPenitential RiteEucharistic PrayerSecond ReadingLiturgy of the EucharistRite of PeaceLiturgy of the WordFirst ReadingOffertoryPreface AcclamationMemorial AcclamationProfession of FaithDivide the class into two teams, A and B. Place chalk near each column.

Say:Two students, one from each team, will come up to the board at a time. I will read a clue from one of these cards, and you will try to identify which part of the Mass I’m describing. The first one to circle the correct answer wins a point for his team. The team with the most points at the end is the winner. Be sure not to get excited and shout out the answer from your seats, or your team will lose the point. We’ll take turns, so that for each clue, two different students will come up to the board.

After the game, tell the students that while the Liturgy has undergone changes over the years, the principal elements and order of the celebration have been the same since the first century! Read to them paragraph 1345 from the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Game II

Follow same directions as in Game I except, instead of using cards, read from a missalette one of the prayers from a part of the Mass and have team members try to identify to which part of the Mass it belongs.

Silent Activity

Shuffle one set of the cards. Have student sort the cards into proper order.

Homily

After the Gospel reading, the priest or deacon gives a teaching about the Scriptures and encouragement to the people to put God’s word into practice.

Intercessions

Just before we prepare for the Eucharist, we pray for the needs of the Church and the world.

Eucharistic Prayer

The summit, or peak, of the celebration, in which we give thanks to God, we ask his blessing on the gifts of bread and wine, and with the words of consecration Christ becomes sacramentally present under the appearances of bread and wine.

Liturgy of the Eucharist

This section of the Mass includes the Preparation of the Gifts, the Lord’s Prayer, the Breaking of the Bread, and Communion.

Liturgy of the Word

This follows the “Glory to God” prayer and includes readings from the Scripture.



Offertory

The bread and wine are brought to the altar, and contributions to the church and for the poor are collected from those assembled.

Memorial Acclamation

This prayer, spoken by the people during the Eucharistic Prayer, is a remembrance of Jesus’ death, Resurrection, and promise of his return.

Gathering

Christians come together in one place to worship God and receive Christ in the Eucharist. This time is often celebrated with a song.

Penitential Rite

Before we listen to the Word of God, we make a prayer to confess our sins and ask the Lord’s mercy.

Second Reading

This is from one of the New Testament Epistles.

Rite of Peace

The priest begins this with the words, “Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your

apostles: I leave you peace, my peace I give to you.”

Preface Acclamation

Usually known as the “Holy, Holy, Holy”, this prayer of praise and thanksgiving

comes at the beginning of the Eucharistic Prayer.

Profession of Faith

We say the words of the Nicene Creed, which begins, “We believe in one God.”



First Reading

This comes from the Old Testament, the Acts of the Apostles, or Revelation.



First Eucharist Altar/Dining Table ActivityFacilitator tells the group:

There are a number of items in front of us that are used on the altar in the church. You may remember some of them from Church Search. I will read a card with the description, and I would like you to help us decide which item the card

represents.

On your paper there are two columns.

The things on the left are what we usually place on the altar. The things on the right are what you might put on your family dinner table. Working with your parents, match the item on the left side that has a similar use as that on the right side

of the paper. For example, at home you can put a table cloth on your dinner table. At church, you can put an altar cloth on the altar. These two things are a match, and you can draw a line between them. (leader uses a sample paper to illustrate)

Supplies:

Instruction cards Altar cloth, corporal, purificator, chalice, paten, cruets, sacramentary, chasuble Table cloth ,placemat, napkin, cup, plate, pitcher, meal prayer card, apron Papers with matching exercise Pencils Index cards with Altar Item labeled on one side and description on the other side.

Ideas for Engaging Students

Turn and TalkThis technique is very effective in getting children to verbalize and internalize their learning. It also eliminates the problem of several students always answering the questions while others stay quiet.

1. Pose a question, i.e. “What do you think the important message is in the Story of the Prodigal son?”

2. Tell the students to “turn and talk”!3. Students turn to the person next to them and ask/discuss the question, so the whole class

is discussing in pairs.4. Teach students to be polite. If you see that some on doesn’t have a talking partner, ask

them to join you (a discussion with 3 is OK). You will need to practice!5. You may want to assign “turn and talk” partners to make it easier.6. After students discuss for 1-2 minutes, give a signal and everyone stops talking. Ask

several students to share what he/she and his/her partner came up with.7. Use often!

Table TalkThis technique allows for several points of view, ideas in a discussion. It helps build community, and helps students realize that everyone’s contribution is valuable.

1. Present a question, problem to be solved, or situation, i.e. “What could we do as a class to help with the Food Pantry stock shortage?”

2. Assign someone at each table to ask the question or present the situation to the group.3. Optional: have someone be the “recorder” to write group members’ responses.4. Choose someone who will share their group’s answer with the class at the end.5. Practice taking turns speaking and validating other people’s responses by saying “I agree

because…..”, “I don’t agree because….” “What if….”, etc.6. Give table groups sufficient time to discuss, analyze, solve.7. Give a signal to bring groups back together as a class.8. Ask each table to present their answers.

Learning StationsAs an alternative to teaching whole class, you may want to split students into groups, where each teacher is leading a different “station.” This gives students the attention they often seek,



and makes teaching more manageable for the catechists. After a given time period (approx. 15-20 minutes), students switch to the next station. For example:

Teacher #1 - Reads text pages to students, or has students take turn reading the text. Discuss readings and answer questions.

Teacher #2 - Works with students on a craft or a skit

Teacher #3 - Practices prayers or says the rosary

If you only have 2 teachers, one group can be reading or working on an activity independently.

Make sure you designate adequate space for each station activity.

Use VBS or other Song/Move VideosMusic is a good motivator, and many of the videos we have allow for movement. Please use them as often as you like. Once students are familiar with the movements and songs, they will join in and have fun while praising God (and the Adults will have fun too!)

Response BoardsWe have plenty of response boards (small white boards that look like a paddle) for students to use, along with dry erase markers and erasers. These can be utilized in many ways. Use them for short responses, use them for yes and no questions (write yes on one side, no on the other), or they can be used to write or draw when paper is not necessary. You can use them for reviews or “quizzes”, or be creative and think of your own ideas (or ask students for their ideas!)

GamesThere is a list of items available for games in your “Children’s Religious Education Guide and Policies.” Be sure you are relating the games to something the children are learning in class. Be creative and have fun!

Tic Tac ToeA simple way to review concepts is to play tic tac toe on the board as a class. Draw a tic tac toe board. Divide the class into two teams; one will be X’s, the other O’s. Ask the first team a question. If they can answer (you can ask individuals or the whole team), they get to put an X anywhere they want on the board. Then ask the other team a question. If they get it correct,



they put an O on the board, and so on. Play until one team gets “tic tac toe, three in a row.” They are the winners.

Go OutsideIf the weather is nice you are certainly welcome to take your children outside to the courtyard or to the Prayer Garden to read or do an activity. Please leave a note on your door to let us know where you have gone, and make sure children are supervised at all times.

Go to the Church or Chapel (ask parish leader when this is appropriate for your parish. Policies vary.)You may bring your students to the Church or Chapel at any time. However, if Maintenance is busy cleaning or setting up the Church, you may want to go to the Chapel, and vice versa. Children must be quiet and respectful when they are visiting either sacred place. Once again, please leave a note on the door to let us parish staff know where you have gone, and make sure students are supervised at all times.

Act It OutChildren enjoy acting out stories. We have costumes that you can request to make your skits more fun. Have children act out Bible stories, relevant situations (i.e. making good choices), or vocabulary words.

Word Fun (you can use white response boards for many of these ideas) Have a spelling bee with vocabulary (Catholic Faith Words). Read a definition and have students choose which word it is Read or write a sentence with a blank, and fill in with the correct word Play Pictionary, where a student is given a word, and has a time limit to draw clues on the

board while his/her team tries to guess the word Name a Catholic Faith word and see how many times you can find it in the chapter Name a Catholic Faith Word and see who can find it in the glossary first Give students a word and have them colorfully illustrate it
