Celebrating the Lectionary for Intermediate Grades encourages children to grow in familiarity with the Gospel and liturgical year while deepening their connection to the Church through liturgy, celebration of seasons and solemnities, and an ongoing practice of prayer. This book is appropriate for children in grades 4-5 (roughly ages 9-11).

Celebrating the Lectionary™ provides quick reflections on the Gospel readings for all Sundays and holy days of obligation from August 5, 2012 through June 30, 2013. Each session is designed to be 15-20 minutes long and requires no preparation or special materials. This makes it easy for catechists or Catholic school teachers to supplement primary curriculum with Lectionary-based material that enables children and their families to remain connected to the cycle of readings, an ancient source of Catholic identity and community, even if they do not regularly attend Mass.
