No class today, but I am busy preparing for next week’s lesson which will feature a free lesson plan created by Joe Paprocki and featured at Catechist’s Journey. It’s an interactive session featuring Learning Stations for the Sacraments of Initiation. The stations focus on the visible and invisible realities of the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. There are four stations for each of the sacraments, each representing one of the signs which are visible in the rite of the sacraments. Through various activities the students learn about what is really happening that we cannot see – the invisible reality of the sacrament.
I have followed Joe Paprocki for many years and read several of his books. He has been an invaluable asset to me as a catechist. The lesson plan is a re-working of one that originally appeared on his blog site several years ago. I used that original lesson plan in 2014. It was a success, but to be completely honest, I didn’t fully commit to the process. This year, I am “all in.” I’m looking forward to reporting back next week on how everything went.
