Before beginning, make sure to set a prayer space for your family gatherings. Set a space that encourages the family to sit close together so that it’s easier to have meaningful conversations and prayer time as a family. It’s a good idea to have sacramental objects out, such as, rosaries, holy water, medals, statues, images of Jesus and the Virgin Mary, Bible, Cross, etc.
Family Huddle: Go around and have each member share their answers to following questions:
Affirmation: Each student will stand and repeat the following:
Prayer: Refer to the book Pg. 77 for opening prayer.
Icebreaker: Student, color the Tabernacle on Page 84.
As a family, watch video lesson 3.1 from Fr. Andrew:
(Families are encouraged to read through pages 80-83 but it is not required. The video covers the main points of this section.)
While watching the video, answer the Check Your Understanding questions in the book on page 89.
Discussion Questions:
For this lesson, plan on making a visit as a family to our Church or any Church. At the Church locate the Tabernacle like the one you colored on page 84 and take a few moments to pray as a family. After you’re done praying, make sure to take a photo of the Tabernacle to send in to us along with the Family Gathering Form.
Closing prayer - Close in prayer by having everyone read together on page 91.
(Remember to do the Sign of the Cross before beginning to read the prayer and then again at the end).
End the gathering by offering a sign of peace (and a hug) to one another.
