Catechists in Action – Katie Elwood Teaches About the Sacraments

Joe Paprocki Catechists in Action

In this segment of Catechists in Action, we once again join 2nd grade catechist Katie Elwood as she prepares her children for their First Holy Communion. Watch as Katie…

  • talks about the Sacrament of Baptism
  • asks the children to name how many sacraments there are
  • asks the children to name the 7 sacraments
  • invites her aide to give a clue about Matrimony saying, “what happens when you’re older….your mom and dad did what?” Incredibly, a child responds “Get divorced!”
  • asks, “BEFORE the divorce?!” while laughing off the unexpected response.
  • reviews the Sacrament of Reconciliation and tells the children they will see the confessional and reconciliation room when they go for their tour of the church
  • talks about the Sacrament of Holy Orders and the Anointing of the Sick.
  • reviews all 7 Sacraments one more time
