Synopsis
Here is a book of lessons and cutout crafts that help primary grade children learn the parts of the Mass. This book teaches children the roles of the priest, other liturgical ministers, and the community and helps them to learn Mass responses and all of the other rituals and actions that take place at Mass.
Each "lesson" includes background information for the adult, text for how to explain the lesson to children, questions for reviewing the lesson, and clear and concise directions as to how to complete the accompanying craft.
The crafts may be cut out right from the book or reproduced for use with many children. Also included is a 32-page missal, "My Mass Book, " for the children to color and fold and take with them to Mass. In "My Mass Book" are the written responses to aid in the children's participation.
