February 9th: Ways of Praying

This week we are studying Chapter 25. If you have a chance, please read it.
The lesson is based on the following passages from the Catechism of the Catholic Church: 2623-2643, 2650-2660, 2663-2677.
The Saint of the Day will be St. Valentine. You have to scroll to the bottom of the page to get to his story. There are also suggestions for family activities to reinforce the Catholic tradition underlying this holiday. Ms. Martin wants to back cookies with molasses. Here is a recipe for heart-shaped St. Valentine's Day cookies that uses molasses! Hopefully it is good!
Our liturgical lesson will be on Mark 1: 40-45. Here is the catechist preparation. Here is the family preparation. Here is the link to the coloring page for this week- we'll do it in class.

Note that all these links are choices. Not all parents are expected to use all of them. Let me know if you are finding this useful. See you next week!
