Why do we gather for Eucharist? The kids engaged in a lively discussion, and wrote their responses on poster  boards. After 15 minutes they shared their insights with the class.

Their responses to At Sunday Mass We Gather To  included: “…listen to the stories from the Gospel,” “.. to eat the bread and wine of God,”  “…to pray, to sing, and to help others,” “…”to say ‘I am sorry’,” “…to share our love and to thank God,”  “…to remember Jesus’ death and Resurrection,”  “…to give money to help the poor.” “…to celebrate with joy.” “… because God loves us.”
