Chapter 7: The Early Church
Today we started talking about the Early Church and worked on defining what an Apostle, a Gentile and an Disciple are. We also talked about the different communities we all belong to: church, school, social network, work...and will talk next week about how we can be apostle in these different communities with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Today we had the 9th and 10th grade assemble together for their Saints' Projects! What an awesome event. Each presentation was thoughtful, inspiring and very educational. You should be very proud of your son/daughter. During the upcoming week, Mrs. Babineau and the Religious Ed team will be hanging the projects in the church for all to see. We are encouraging you all to attend 9:30 Mass next Sunday and to see your son/daughter explain his/her project to the congregation after this Mass.
Also, mark your calendars for a fun event! Next Saturday and Sunday, the Ladies of Ste Anne will be hosting their annual Christmas Fair! Come taste the wonderful goodies and try your luck at an awesome penny sale! In addition, this is a wonderful opportunity for 9th and 10th graders to volunteer their time and earn some of their service hours!
Hope to see you all there!
Peace and Love in Christ,
Lise M. Blais, 9th grade teacher

Unit 1:
How do we nourish God's gift of faith? We have started responding to that question in our class by starting chapter 1 on how to respond to God's love. Today was all about how we reflect the goodness of God (p.14). We also explored the first chapter of Genesis and tried to recognize the order of Creation. The students have been given a card with the name of an important person in Genesis (Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph). Their assignment is to read a chapter in the Book of Genesis and let us know what they have learned in that particular story.

Everybody showed up despite the miserable weather and that was a victory in itself. Here is what happened in our class:
- Mrs. Babinneau came in to present the March for Life that will take place in Washington DC on January 24th -25th 2013, and gave the kids some registration forms.
All students are welcome to participate in this great cause.
- We finished our first chapter with an assessment, reviewing some concepts like holiness, mortal sin, original sin and God's kingdom.- We started chap.2 and talked a lot about moral choices. We went through p.22-23. We talked about how sometimes our fears make us take the wrong decisions. But how the fear of the wrong consequences keeps us on the right track..Then the students were asked to team-up and create a situation for the other team. These situations needed to be evaluated morally.
We realized that our conscience is like a compass. We might go the wrong way because of peer pressure, fear, or anger, but God always welcomes us on the right path. Saint Paul tells us, in his Letter to the Romans, that he was no stranger to the struggle of doing right. Paul states, "For I do not do what I want, but I do what I hate" (Romans 7:15-16)
- The students will keep working on their saint project due by the end of the month.
Have a great week, Danielle Hind
