Sunday Mass Children's Program: 
Four Movements
of the Mass

This program guides children to:

  • develop a deeper understanding of the four-fold movement of the Mass: gathering, storytelling, meal sharing, and sending forth
  • utilize their understanding of the four-fold movement to participate more actively and more meaningfully in the celebration of the Eucharist
  • develop an appreciation for the significance of the Eucharist in their daily lives as Catholics

Churches and schools have permission to download, print, and adapt the materials for their use. Permission is given to use these materials in print and digital formats (websites, newsletters, social media) for educational purposes only.

Downloads available in English and Spanish. The video (English) may be used in both the Children's Program and Parent Workshop.
