Third GRADE
Classroom
FIRST GRADE - PREP online
The Kingdom of God and the Church
This is a Catechist led, parent managed program. Catechists teach students online, and parents use the tool to reinforce learning in the home. In Third Grade PREP students will learn what the Catholic Church is, who the Holy Spirit is and how He guides Her, and what it means that Jesus continues His mission through Her.
Things the students will learn in Third Grade religious instruction.
-
Along with the basics of the Trinity and all seven Sacraments, they build on what they have learned about prayer, and explore what it means to live as children of God.
-
They also focus on Jesus' Parables of the Kingdom, and Mary, the Mother of the Church.
-
Includes a supplement on Confirmation for restored order dioceses.

While it's important for your Children to understand the Faith, Spirit of Truth is designed to help them internalize the Faith and apply it to their own lives, providing ample opportunity for them to reflect on how everything they are learning applies to their own lived experience.

Every week a new video lesson created by your Catechist will appear in this section of the webpage. Please watch and complete each lesson as required. Since these lessons are pre-recorded, students are encouraged to pace themselves as needed, pausing for breaks, returning a few days later, revisiting later in the year. We will post weekly and suggest completing each lesson weekly, but families should access when appropriate for their own schedules.
