Eucharist: Celebrate and Remember

Celebrate and Remember prepares children for the celebration of the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation and the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Through the effective process of liturgical catechesis, preparation for these Sacraments takes place not only by learning about the rites but also through the rites that are going to be celebrated. It is a process that will result in a deeper understanding and more meaningful celebration of these important Sacraments.

an opening prayer.
We Listen: Scripture story with an on-page activity.
We Learn: doctrinal instruction with an on-page activity.
