If you forget your book you must take a bulletin and have that signed by the priest. Place that page in your Reflection Book.

Hand in your Reflection Book to the Office for Catechesis after you attend all required Masses & completed the book requirements.

Reflection Book Work – we will be looking for Grade appropriate work from each child

For each Mass there is two pages of work:

1. The first page will be taking that Sunday’s Gospel Reading and rewriting it in their own words.
2. The second page will be writing what the Gospel means to you and how it can make you a better version of yourself.
