How to begin to teach your children about the Eucharist:

1.  Tell the story of the Last Supper to your child. It can be read as a bedtime story or told as a part of
       family story time on Sundays. Locate a children's bible and show the child pictures of the Last 
       Supper. The pictures will help to explain why the Last Supper is so important to Christians.

2. Go to mass and sit with the child as close to the front as possible so that he/she can see what the
     priest is doing. Whisper to the child and explain that the priest is doing the same thing that Jesus did
     when he ate with the disciples.

3. Allow the child to ask questions after mass and answer the questions as honestly as possible. 
     Remind the child that the Eucharist is a Holy Sacrament and that the grace of God comes to those
     who receive communion.
