Who Made You?
God made everything — including you! He made the world, the animals, the stars, and every person because He loves us very much.
The Holy Trinity
God is one God in three Persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. This is called the Holy Trinity.
It’s a mystery of love — three Persons, but still one God, always working together to love and save us.
Who Is Jesus?
Jesus is God’s Son who came to show us how much God loves us. He teaches us to be kind, brave, and loving. He died and rose again so we can live with God forever.

What Is the Church?
The Church is God’s big family all around the world. Everyone who follows Jesus belongs to this family. We help each other, pray together, and learn about God together.
What Are the Sacraments?
Sacraments are special meetings with Jesus that help us grow in God’s love. For example:
- Baptism: A holy spiritual bath that makes us part of God’s family.
- Eucharist: Receiving Jesus in Holy Communion.
- Reconciliation: Saying sorry and receiving God’s forgiveness.
Why Do Colors Change at Mass?
The Church uses colors to show what we’re celebrating. These colors help children see the seasons of the Church year:
Green: Growing with God
Purple: Waiting or preparing
White: Joy
Red: Holy Spirit or special celebrations
