The program consists of several resources: a Family Guide, Catechist Guide, and a Children's book. A First Communion DVD and a Children's Mass booklet are also available to supplement the core resources.</p><p><em>Meet the Gentle Jesus</em> First Communion Program strengthens families in their relationship with Jesus Christ and supports parents as the first catechists of their own children. The Program encourages the parish catechist to enthusiastically share his or her faith and love of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Start here and start now. Your collaboration and dedication will bring children, families, and parishioners to the Eucharistic table and help build a vibrant worshipping community.</p>--Barbara Yoffie, Director of Religious Education (6/16/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p>The <em>Meet the Gentle Jesus</em> program is so incredibly well-thought-out and comprehensive, while at the same time being gloriously down-to-earth, wonderfully relational, and theologically solid. More than a program, it is a joyful sacramental journey of discovery for all who participate in the process. It has all you will need to lead the children in your care to that wonderful day when they will experience Jesus in the Eucharist for the first time!</p><p>As a former DRE I have used and created sacramental preparation programs and worked to draw families and the parish into the experience of the journey that is the celebration of the Eucharist. This program is by far the best I have seen. Nothing is left out of this comprehensive faith-filled process of catechetical instruction and experiential learning. The lessons integrate Scripture, Church teaching, relational ministry, and liturgical experience into one wonderful journey of spiritual growth and discovery.</p>--Mark C McCann, Author and Ministry Consultant (3/12/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br>
