"Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in their midst."

–Matthew 18:20


Worship is a communal experience whether is it for a Mass celebration or other prayer gathering. It is a coming together of people in community to offer worship to our God. Children of many different faith traditions may be part of the makeup of your school community. You will want to respect their traditions even as you teach them to respect the Roman Catholic tradition.

In order to be respectful of other faith traditions, it is helpful to have some basic information concerning them. The following books would serve as valuable resources for your school library.
