Welcome to Session 4 for First Eucharist!


Please go through the lesson together with your child. It is due March 20. You will need the Blessed First Communion book and a pencil. You may want to have the Praying the Mass booklet nearby so that your child can find the prayers in the booklet during this lesson.


Don't forget turn in this session by having your child complete the short Google Form at the end of the lesson (scroll down).

The Offertory

  • Read pages 116 - 117 together.

The Eucharistic Prayer

  • Read pages 118 - 119 together.

The Consecration

  • Read pages 120 - 121 together.
  • Have your child look at the picture. Ask if they know which scene this is from in the Bible? (Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem the week He is killed. We remember this day on Palm Sunday). Explain that when Jesus entered Jerusalem the people laid palm branches down and shouted "Hosanna to the Son of David. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest." You can find this in Matthew 21:9.
  • Point out the words of consecration at the bottom of page 121, and tell your child that this is when they hear the bells ring at Mass.

Closing Prayer

  • Read pages 140 - 141 together or watch Episode 7 below.
