Using our K4J (Kids for Jesus) Program, here's a snapshot of what our students will be learning about this month...






Scripture Verse:

"If you forgive others, you're Heavenly Father will forgive you." (Matthew 6:14)



Saint of the Month:
Blessed Imelda Lambertini
“I want to be with Jesus!” 
A little girl named Imelda was best friends with Jesus. Imelda loved Jesus very much. She knew that Jesus was God. He taught her how to love. This made Imelda very happy. And whenever Imelda had done something wrong, she went to Jesus in her heart. Jesus taught her to say, “I am sorry. Will you forgive me?” She said this to Jesus, and to anyone she had wronged. When Imelda was old enough, Jesus taught her how to come to him in the sacrament of Reconciliation, where he erased all her sins and made her soul clean and strong. Now more than ever, Imelda wanted to receive Jesus in the holy Eucharist into her body at communion time. But Imelda was not yet old enough. Imelda had a very special mission, and she lived with a group of religious sisters in a convent. She wanted to spend all of her time in prayer with Jesus. But she still was not old enough to receive Jesus in holy communion!

Then one day, when Imelda was talking with Jesus in her heart after the other sisters had received the holy Eucharist at mass, something wonderful happened! A white Eucharistic host moved through the air and rested over Imelda’s head! Jesus in the Eucharist had come to Imelda in a very special way! The priest took the host, and gave it to Imelda. Imelda received her first holy communion. Now she was perfectly happy.


Jesus, help me learn to Forgive & Forget and ask for forgiveness when I have done wrong.  Help me learn to be ready to receive you in the holy Eucharist at communion time. I love you.
