Saints Among Us, a two-year curriculum, prepares second graders for First Reconciliation and third graders for Confirmation and First Communion. This curriculum supports the implementation of the restored order of the sacraments of initiation in the Archdiocese of Denver. This curriculum is designed not only to impart the necessary content of the faith to second and third graders, but also seeks to form their hearts as they prepare for the sacraments. It does so by drawing students to the divine Persons of the Holy Trinity, especially Jesus, the Son of God who became Incarnate to save us. The students meet Jesus in the curriculum by listening to the Word of God, learning to pray with the Bible, learning other forms of prayer, and by relating the content to their lives both in the classroom and with follow up at homes. The goal of this curriculum is to help students to encounter God more fully when they receive the sacraments. Book 2 focuses on the Sacrament of Reconciliation and how to receive it. It also connects the sacrament with the Ten Commandments and the Parables of Jesus. Parables such as the Lost Sheep and the Prodigal Son, along with the Beatitudes, show how the commandments are ordered toward a loving relationship with God.
