We Gather/ We Believe
The Apostles led and cared for the Church.
Before Jesus died, he asked the Apostles to lead and care for all of his followers.
Jesus chose Peter (an apostle) to be the leader of all the Apostles.
The Holy Spirit helps Peter and all Apostles to lead the Church.
Peter and the Apostles went to faraway lands.
They went to teach people about Jesus
Many of the people that they taught became members of the church
Their belief in Jesus remained strong
They shared their love for Jesus with others
By teaching the people about Jesus, Peter and the Apostles worked to help the church grow .
The Bishops lead and care for the Church
Think about your school. Name some people who lead and care for the students.
Jesus also chose the Apostles to lead the church
Later on, the Apostles chose other men to lead the church
These men took the place of the Apostles and the became the new leaders of the Church
These leaders became known as bishops.
Bishops still care and lead for the church today
Bishops:
Teach about Jesus
Teach about the church
Pray with people in their care
Bishops also care for each diocese
A diocese is made up of many members of the church
Each bishop is assigned to a particular diocese.
The pope is the Bishop of Rome in Italy
The pope takes the place of Saint Peter and he leads and cares for the whole Church as well.
The pope also works together with all of the bishops.
What does the pope do?
