Celebrating – Catholic Workbook (Grade 8 Religious Education)

This workbook covers the Celebrating strand in the Grade 8 Catholic Religion curriculum for Ontario schools.

This engaging workbook helps students deepen their understanding of the Sacrament of Confirmation and its vital role in strengthening, sanctifying, and sustaining our life as witnesses to Christ in both the Church and the world. Students will explore how Confirmation completes Baptism and empowers us through the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Rooted in curriculum expectations, this resource also highlights the Eucharist as the Sacrament that completes Christian Initiation and stands at the very heart of Catholic life, its source and summit. Students will reflect on how the Eucharist nourishes our faith and unites us more closely with Christ and the Church.

In addition, students will investigate how the Church, in every celebration of the Liturgy and Sacraments, participates in the work of the Holy Trinity. By connecting sacred tradition with everyday life, this workbook supports students in growing a deeper appreciation for the grace and power of the Sacraments in their faith journey.
