For Catholics, the Eucharist is an integral part of the sacramental life of the Church. Preparing to Celebrate provides information and activities to assist children in deepening their understanding of this important Sacrament in the context of the parish family.

The units in Preparing to Celebrate explore the following themes: I am welcome; My family celebrates: We share meals: the parish family listens to stories about God and Jesus: the parish family celebrates Jesus' meal; the parish family sends me out.

Other books in this series include Preparing to Make Peace (Reconciliation), Growing with the Spirit (pre-Eucharist Confirmation) and Preparing to Receive the Spirit (post-Eucharist Confirmation).
