Come and See

This programme is based on and developed through three key themes throughout the year, with each theme gradually building on the understanding of the previous theme. Additionally, each theme is explored through a different topic in each year group.

The three themes are listed below and are colour-coded to show how they fit into each term:

• Church
• Sacrament
• Christian Living

The Church honours the family with the title ‘domestic church’ because parents ‘by their word and example are the first teachers of faith with regard to their children (Lumen Gentium 11/ CCC1656).
