In conversations with teachers and catechists, we often hear the same request: What do you have that can help me to prepare Masses for school or religious education so that I won’t get in trouble with the pastor or liturgist? Preparing Masses with Children gives even the most inexperienced teachers and catechists the tools that they need to communicate with principals, pastors, liturgists, and music directors in order to prepare liturgies that are both effective and liturgically sound. The simple, fifteen-step system in this book shows teachers and catechists how to prepare liturgies, involving the children in every phase of the preparation. This unique approach will teach children the language of Catholic liturgy and reinforce their Catholic identity by engaging them in breaking open the Word, selecting music, preparing liturgical environment, and serving in liturgical ministries.
