What special times does your family celebrate?
We Believe
Jesus celebrated God’s love
Jesus celebrated special times with his family and friends. They celebrated Jewish feasts.
He also gathered with others to worship and celebrate God’s love.
They prayed songs of praise to God to thank him for his love and care.
We Celebrate God’s love
We gather with our parish family to celebrate God’s love and to worship together.
When we worship we thank God for sending his son to us
We remember the things Jesus said and did
We ask the Holy Spirit to help and guide us
When we worship God together, we do different things like:
Ask God to be with us
Pray using words, songs, and action
Listen to God’s Word
What are some way you can pray and thank God?
Jesus gave us the sacraments
Jesus wants each of us to share in God’s love
He gave us seven special signs (called sacraments)
We gather with our parish family to celebrate the sacraments. Jesus is with us each time we celebrate
We receive the sacraments at different times in our lives
But Jesus shares God’s life with us in each of the sacraments
Each sacrament helps us to grow closer to God
The seven sacraments are:
Baptism
Penance and Reconciliation
Eucharist
Confirmation
Holy Orders
Matrimony
Anointing of the sick
We use the gifts of God’s creation during the celebration of the sacraments. For example, water and oils are used to bless us. Light from candles reminds us that Jesus is with us. Bread made from wheat and wine made from grapes are used, too.
