Catechists in Action – Steve Lascola Teaches About the Lord’s Prayer

Joe Paprocki Catechists in Action

In this segment of Catechists in Action, 3rd grade catechist Steve Lascola teaches about the Lord’s Prayer and forgiveness as he prepares the children for the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. Watch for the following:

  • Steve reads some thoughts about the Our Father from a book about Our Lady of Medjugorje. (Steve agreed with me afterwards that this was above the kids’ heads and that things we personally find edifying may not always connect with those we teach)
  • Steve explains what the word AMEN means.
  • Steve speaks from the heart about the experience of forgiveness (he is at his best when he speaks from the heart like this)
  • Steve directs the kids to complete an activity sheet about how we forgive others.

Understanding Reconciliation: A Lesson from the Lost Sheep

Shannon Chisholm Liturgy and Sacraments, Primary Grades

My students are celebrating their First Reconciliation in February, and I have been trying to find engaging ways to introduce my students to Scripture stories that will help them to understand the sacrament (such as playing the Game of the Good Shepherd). I am hoping that they will come to a deeper understanding of the sacrament by experiencing the Parable of the Lost Sheep through the eyes of the different characters in the story. After […]

An Advent Examination of Conscience

Joe Paprocki Advent

Tonight, our 8th graders will be celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation in the church. Advent is indeed an appropriate time to celebrate this sacrament, making straight the path to the Lord. I found the following examination of conscience which is based on the scripture passage of the Visitation and the Magnificat (Luke 1:39-56) which makes it quite appropriate as an Advent examination of conscience.
