Praying with Young People: Tips for Catechists

This book, by a seasoned catechetical director, offers Scripture-based prayer suggestions that begin with the catechist’s own prayer life before being applied to suggestions for the young people under the catechist’s care. This book has three goals: to empower the catechist to effectively lead children in prayer using multiple activities; to assist young people to experience prayer as communication and bonding with God and one another; and to help young people see the connection between learning about God, being in communion with God and living a disciples of Jesus Christ. Prayer suggestions are offered for the catechist and then for children, broken down into different age groups from preschool through adolescence.
