Catechists in Action: Chris Brett Reads the Sunday Gospel

In this segment of Catechists in Action, eighth-grade catechist Chris Brett reads and discusses the Sunday Gospel with his students. Watch for the following:

  • Chris has a key line from Gospel (the story of the Transfiguration) written on the board.
  • Chris tells the students what to listen for and what to do as they hear the passage being read.
  • Chris reads the Gospel passage to the young people.

One suggestion that Chris might consider is having a Bible enthroned at the front of the room and inviting a student to come forward, reverence the Bible (a deep bow) and then read the passage from the Bible instead of from a missalette.
