Eucharist aims to strengthen your relationship with your child and affirm your role as parents. It provides a brief introduction to the key teachings of the Catholic Church on the significance of the Eucharist, together with Baptism and Confirmation, in initiating people into full membership of the Church. Kathy Horan provides ten sessions to facilitate your discussions with your child during the preparation time. She links your role to how the Gospels portray the way that Mary and Joseph went about preparing Jesus to become a full member of their Jewish community. In doing so, Kathy links the Gospel stories to everyday family events and provides an explanation of the meaning of the Mass and how we should approach reception of Eucharist.
She provides material for ten themes:
1. The family at Nazareth
2. Joseph and Mary took Jesus to the Temple
3. Jesus with family and friends
4. Jesus with Martha, Mary and Lazarus at Bethany
5. Jesus invited people to come to him
6. T he Last Supper
7. Jesus continues to be present
8. T he Catholic community
9. T he shape of the Eucharist (Mass)
10. Called to share Jesus' mission to the world

Each session contains a scripture story, family reflection activities and prayers.
