Grade 5: Jesus Comes to Meet Us!

Description

The Sacraments of the Church are a unique expression of God’s love for us because in the seven sacraments the Son of God comes to meet us and give us the joy of salvation. We experience this grace as a gift from God, something completely free and unmerited. Students learn three types of sacraments and reflect on the signs and symbols through which we are given a participation in God’s own life and love. Each of these sacraments was established by Jesus as a way of uniting us to Himself because they offer us the opportunity to live our lives in close communion with Him.
