Loyola Press has put together some great activities related to the election of Pope Francis that you can use in your catechetical setting. They are:
- Find Your Pope Name
- Welcome Letter to the New Pope
- Pray for the Pope, Pray for the World
- Here, There, God is Everywhere!
Here’s an interesting resource from the world of secular education seeking to use the election of the new Pope as a teachable moment.
Here’s how a Catholic high school in Las Vegas took advantage of this teachable moment.

Thank you so much for this link on how to welcome Pope Francis. I am a grade one catechist and I was hoping we could do something to welcome our new Pope.
