 * The following is the SSFF2011-2012 First communion (Grade 2) homework to be posted for the week of March 18 and 25, 2012.**

__**In preparation for their First Holy Communion**__, the children are learning the significance of the Mass as a celebration of God's gift and as a re-enactment of the Last Supper. Here are some suggestions that might help prepare your child for his or her part in the Mass.

From the Sadlier "We Believe" textbook, Project Disciple Resources, tear out pages 241-244, My Mass Book, and follow directions for cutting and folding the pages to make a Mass book for your child to follow during Sunday Mass.

Encourage your child to follow the Mass using the book or purchase a picture missal from your Catholic bookstore (or Amazon.com). Read teh missal or book with your child and identify the different sections of the Mass. If possible, visit the church sometime during the week. Point out those things your child might miss during Mass-the tabernacle, the vigil candle, the Stations of the Cross, and so forth. Explain the significance.

If your child has not done so, read chapter 18 in the Sadlier, "We Believe" textbook, pages 156 - 159. On page 159, "We Respond," write what you can do to thank Jesus for the gift of himself in the Eucharist.
