“I am the Good Shepherd; I know my own and my own know me”. John 10:14"
In this section, children will explore the beautiful story of the prophecy and promise of Jesus' birth. The angel Gabriel told Mary she would have a son named Jesus (Luke 1:26-31, 38). Jesus was born in Bethlehem, laid in a humble manger (Luke 2:4-7), and visited by shepherds who were guided by angels to come and see him (Luke 2:8-20). This includes key moments like the Annunciation, the Nativity, and the visit of the shepherds.
Children will also learn about Advent traditions, including the Advent wreath and the nativity crib, as well as how different cultures around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus. Through these traditions, we reflect on the meaning of Advent: preparing our hearts, helping others, and showing our love to God.
In connection with Catholic Social Teaching, we’ll discuss the dignity and rights of workers. This teaching reminds us that everyone should be able to work in safety and dignity, as each person is loved by God. Advent is a season of preparing ourselves and supporting those around us.
