Praying the New Missal with Children
The resources – including a teacher’s workbook and three different workbooks for children – are written by Maeve Mahon and Elaine Mahon.
It is hoped that this book will help teachers understand more fully the rationale for the changes that have been made to the Mass texts, introduce them to the new texts and suggest ways that they can communicate and teach the changes to children so that they will be enabled and encouraged to become full, active and conscious participants at Mass.
A Guide for Teachers content includes a DVD featuring a celebration of the Mass according to the new rite and resources for use with interactive whiteboards.
The workbooks for children contains explanatory text for children, worksheets for use in the classroom and worksheets for use at home, including a section for parents
