THIS WEEK IN FAMILY FAITH...

GR. 2: Begins preparing for First Holy Communion! They will see how Baptism means we all belong to a loving community-The Catholic Church! They will also come to see the gift Jesus gave of Himself-in the Eucharist.
 
GR. 3-6: A Family of Faith-We will be learning about the Last Judgment-do we see the face of Jesus in all those we encounter? We will also come to see how the Resurrection of Jesus is the fulfillment of our redemption...however, we are called to live a life that lives up to that redemption...we must cooperate with the Grace we receive in order to find our way to Heaven.
 
Gr. 7-8: Using our Gospel Weeklies, we will consider what Lenten commitments we might make. We will explore ways of handling rejection from friends. We will see how we are a part of the Body of Christ and the importance of the Sacrament of Eucharist. Finally, we will see how lying may appear in many different forms.
BEST LENT EVER
