CREED - PROFESSION OF FAITH

Section one pertains to what God, Our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ His Son by the power of the Holy Spirit has revealed about Himself and His Plan for our salvation and sanctification. The delivery of the Faith begins with the knowledge that God has acted first – He has given all – for no other reason than He loves us.

At the end of Kindergarten, students will demonstrate the following:

1. God is our Father who loves us and cares for us. (CCC 301, 303, 305)

2. God made all people and things. We are grateful to God for all the beautiful gifts He has given us. (CCC 224-225, 338, 341, 357-358, 360-361, 1934)

3. God calls each of us by name and protects us. God made each of us to love Him and to be His child now and always. (CCC 1, 163, 301, 303, 305, 1023)

4. Jesus is God the Son. (CCC 443-445, 464-469, 480-482, 470-476) . Jesus was born as man on the first Christmas as our Saviour. Jesus loves us.  The Gospels are the most important part of the Bible because they tell us about Jesus’ life, teaching, and how His death and resurrection saved us from sin and re-united us to Himself. (CCC 125) Passages that show Jesus’ love for people:

John 6: 1-15 Jesus feeds five thousand people

7. Angels are God’s messengers. (CCC 331-333, 351). Angels are God’s messengers. Our guardian angel keeps constant, watchful care over us and guides us and protects us on our journey to God in Heaven.

8. Prayer is listening to and talking to God. We are called to pray every day. (CCC 2559, 2659-2660)

9. Our parents who give us life, love, care and provide for us are a very special gift from God. (CCC 2215)

10. Playmates and classmates are meant to be our friends. Friends are also gifts from God. (CCC 1878-1879)
