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 (4/21/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p>The Family Guide to the <em>Meet the Gentle Jesus</em> first communion program is designed for today's busy family. Parent lessons are condensed in a four-page format that includes; insightful information about the child's lesson, prayer, a connection to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, thought-provoking questions to use for discussion in the home, and additional suggestions throughout each lesson to increase at-home involvement. Each of the eight parent lessons partner perfectly with the child's book.</p>--Barbara Yoffie, Director of Religious Education (6/16/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br>
