Celebrating – Catholic Workbook (Grade 2 Religious Education)

This workbook covers the Celebrating strand in the Grade 2 Catholic Religion curriculum for Ontario schools.

Introduce students to the depth of the Catholic faith with this engaging resource designed to focus on themes of reconciliation, forgiveness, and the Eucharist as sacrificial love. This resource provides students with the tools to understand how the Church celebrates God’s presence and His gift of love through the sacraments, the liturgy, and the mysteries of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.

Aligned with key Catholic teachings and expectations, this resource highlights how the sacraments express God’s love and forgiveness, the Eucharist invites us to participate in Jesus’ memorial sacrifice, and the liturgical year unfolds Christ’s life, death, and resurrection to make Him present to us.

Students will engage in a variety of hands-on and reflective activities, including readings, cut-and-paste tasks, drawing prompts, scripture connections, and thoughtful reflection questions. These activities encourage learners to explore and cherish the symbols, stories, and practices that guide us in our journey as children of God.
