Course Description
The children in Our Lady of Victory Parish who have made their First Holy Communion and are enrolled in the Catechism class (preparatory course) to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation have not shown proficiency in knowledge of the Seven Sacraments, which they should have learned before receiving First Holy Communion. Could it be that the material was not well taught or the children did not commit it to memory? This course will serve to present material on the Seven Sacraments in a comprehensive yet age-appropriate way to give children preparing for reception of the Sacraments a good foundation in the Faith.
Course RationaleThere has been a steady decline in the practice of the Faith (Catholic) over the past decades.
Pew Research XXXXXXXXXXhas the number of Catholics in the U.S. at 51million which was a decline in 24% between the years 2007 to 2014. The same study found that the Catholic church experienced a greater net loss than any other religious tradition due to members leaving or switching to other traditions. The foundation no doubt for the decline starts from poor catechesis. This course is relevant in that it will provide a good foundation for learning the Faith. This is geared toward children in preparing to receive the Sacraments so that they do not only have a good understand of what they are entering into but also a solid faith foundation upon which they can continue to build for the rest of their lives.
Target Audience
The target audience is children of OLV parish, 7 years and above who are enrolled in preparatory classes for the reception of the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist i.e., First Holy Communion. Also, the material could be used at home by families who are interested in teaching their children (all ages) about the Faith.
Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)/Stakeholders
SME providing the resources for the development of this course includes the Parish Priest of OLV Parish, Coordinator of Faith Formation from the Diocese of Waterville, ME, Child/Early Education Expert, Parish Volunteer Catechists. Stakeholders interested in the successful implementation of the course includes the Diocese, Parents and the local community.
Prerequisites
All learners (whether at home based or enrolled in Catechism class) must be of the age of reason, and able to understand and assimilate course material. For all children enrolled in the Catechism class, they must be registered at OLV parish and have received the Sacrament of Baptism.
Course Length
The course will take place over a period of 2 weeks. The course time shall be 1 hour during catechism classes on the Saturdays and 30 minutes Monday through Thursday so that participants do not feel overwhelmed yet get in touch with material frequently enough to stay engaged. Total time for the course will be 6 hours
.
Required Materials/Facilities
Formal Catechism class will take place on the weekends (Saturdays from 9am – 10am) at the Parish Hall class room. Each child will be required to have a New St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism Book No. 1, for reference.
Evaluation Strategy
The nature of the course (Catechesis, i.e., teaching of the Faith) usually proceeds in a Question/Answer format. The goal being not only to acquire the knowledge but to commit it to memory, the questions and answer are meant to be repetitive for memorization. As such the course will proceed with questions and answers throughout each of the lessons which are meant for both teaching and evaluation simultaneously. At the end of each lesson, a
ief Quiz will assess understanding of the lesson and some activity may be included for practice. A comprehensive assessment at the end of the course will include a selection of questions from all the lessons to evaluate over all understanding of the Seven Sacraments.
Certification
The comprehensive assessment at the end of the course will be sign-off by the Parish Priest of OLV who will certify the children ready (or not ready) to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion.
Reference List
The main resources used for the development of this course are:
The Catechism of the Catholic Church Second Edition
The New Saint Joseph Baltimore Catechism

Lesson 1
Baptism
(Video or some visual animation of the Sacrament for Intro)
Remember the story of the Good Shepherd who looks after his sheep? (Module 1) Jesus teaches us in the Holy Bible: “Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep...If anyone enters by Me he shall be safe and shall go in and out and shall find pastures....I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly” (John 10: 7-10).
And again, “Unless a man be born again of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God” (John 3: 5). When we are born, are souls are dead because of original sin and are under the power of the devil. Baptism gives us the new life of sanctifying grace, frees us from the power of the devil and
ings us into God’s family, the Church. In baptism we promise to live our lives loving God and imitating Jesus Christ, and not loving ourselves and imitating the devil. Baptism is the door to the other sacraments. Only the baptized can receive any of the other sacraments. (Ref: Baltimore Catechism Book No.1)

Answer: Baptism takes away original sin, and also actual sins if there are any and all the punishment due to them.
3. Question: Who can adminster Baptism?
