About The Author
gospelteam
Laura Grace, has taught first grade religious education for over 15 years and writes our lesson plans from St. Nicholas Chapel at the Pax River Naval Air Station in Patuxent River, Maryland. Visit Laura at her blog at The Catholic Toolbox. Elyse Wilson lives with her husband and six children on Yongsan Army Garrison in Seoul, Korea. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Theology. Among other things, she enjoys teaching Religious Education classes, studying her Bible, and spending time with her six children (five boys and one girl) and her husband, Col. Russell A. Wilson of the US Air Force. She hopes that her Mass worksheets will help children become more enthusiastic about their faith, and her ultimate goal is to design another worksheet that will keep her husband awake during Mass. Lisa Hendey is the founder and webmaster of CatholicMom.com and loves to color and work puzzles!
Hoping the Gospel activities for December 8th will be available soon. I’m planning for a “sub” for my 3rd grade class and need to complete my lesson plan.

They have not been added yet. I apologize for the delay — I prepare all of these myself and I have been busy working on a book. I will do my best to get them posted soon, but do regret the inconvenience.
All of the Mass Worksheets for the month have now been added. Thank you for your patience. Please pray for all of our volunteers involved in providing these resources free of charge.
Do you have a coloring page of “The Advent Wreath” ? I will go over the meaning of it with my students and have them color it. Thank you
When will the Gospel activities for December 22 be available?
I will be working on them at lunchtime today, as well as the ones for next week. Thanks.
