Wow so you're going to be teaching third grade CCD? That is awesome! I do hope you find the stuff in accessible format. I thought second graders took first communion and then Catholic confirmation was in 11th grade. Am I missing something?

> Hi all, today I got a phone call from my priest, Father Tom. He asked if I would like to teach a group of third graders on Sunday mornings. This group of children will be receiving their first —munion and ConfirmN next year. I'm very excited about this, and now will hopefully be able  to find the curriculum that Father wants used in an accessible format. I'm hoping between Xavier Society and Bookshare I'll be able to get the right materials. Please pray that I will be able  to find the materials, and also please pray for me as I embark on a very new ministry for me, teaching young children. I've spoken to classrooms of kids from kindergarten to 8th grade, so I'm okay on that score. I'll be teaching for this school year and then do a review with the children next year before they receive their First —munion. Prayers would definitely be appreciated. Blessings,    Debby
