ANNA GOES TO A PARTY AND LEARNS ABOUT THE MASS

byGabrieleKramer-Kost

Sometimes the best teaching tools are stories! And if you have a child, grandchild, or student you’re teaching about the Mass, this is a terrific addition to your lesson plans. Anna is about to make her First Communion, but she doesn’t really understand what it’s about until her godmother uses a family birthday party to explain about the Mass. Using that same birthday-party symbolism, you and your child can discuss penance, reconciliation, the Eucharist, and the entire Mass.
