Welcome to St. Patrick CCD Grade 4 with Mr. Rios and Mrs. McGinnis!

In this website, you will find an overview of what we talk about during Wednesday night CCD class. I will try to include a picture or two of what we have done. cover4lgAlso, I can post certain handouts on this website. Mr. Rios and I have been team-teaching Fourth grade CCD for 4 years. We have a lot of fun and we are able to work together to reinforce the teaching points. We use the “Blest Are We 4″ series published by Pearson Education, Inc.©2008. The website for their series is http://www.blestarewe.com. I am trying to incorporate the church year holy days and seasons into our curriculum so we jump around in the book. We are very pleased to share our faith with your children. We look forward to a wonderful year.

May God be with you,
Mr. Ed Rios,  Mrs. Emilie McGinnis

Parents: Commentary on Holy water by Fr. William P. Saunders

“Lord, God Almighty, creator of all life, of body and soul, we ask you to bless this water: as we use it in faith forgive our sins and save us from all illness and the power of evil. Lord, in your mercy give us living water, always springing up as a fountain of salvation; free us, body and soul, from every danger, and admit us to your presence in purity of heart.”

Blest Are They Lyrics

1. Blest are they, the poor in spirit; theirs is the
kingdom of God. Blest are they, full of sorrow; they
shall be consoled.

Rejoice, and be glad! Blessed are you, holy are
you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!

2. Blest are they, the lowly ones: they shall inherit the
earth. Blest are they, who hunger and thirst; they shall
have their fill.

Rejoice, and be glad! Blessed are you, holy are
you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!

3. Blest are they, who show mercy; mercy shall be theirs.
Blest are they, the pure of heart; they shall see God!

Rejoice, and be glad! Blessed are you, holy are
you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!

4. Blest are they, who seek peace; they are the children
of God. Blest are they who suffer in faith; the glory of
God is theirs.

Rejoice, and be glad! Blessed are you, holy are
you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!

5. Blest are you, who suffer hate, all because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, yours is the kingdom of God; shine
for all to see.

Rejoice, and be glad! Blessed are you, holy are
you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!
