FOR THECATECHISTIntroducing the Program1 Before You Read AloudThe story of Ray and Sam in Everyone Belongs introduces several topics, includingracial discrimination and anti-immigrant feelings. These subjects might be difficultto discuss, but children can be particularly adept at understanding that Jesus calls allpeople to be treated with dignity. In advance of this lesson, go to www.usccb.org/racism to explore additional resources about the sin of racism. If possible, read thepastoral letter from the U.S. bishops, Open Wide Our Hearts: The Enduring Call to Love.As you gather the children together, say: Jesus gave us a great example of howto love one another. He asks us to love every person the way he does.Showing love to each other is another way of showing how we follow Jesus.Children’s Prayer: We Are All in God’s ImageLoving Father,Thank you for the many beautiful colorsand languages of the worldand for making all your children unique.Thank you for creating me in your image.Thank you for loving me and making me wonderful.Help me love like you.2019 The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in partnership withHelp me share your lovewith all the children you have made,for they are unique and wonderful.Amen.(continued on page 2)W1839Everyone Belongs Program Introduction for Catechists Page 1

Give them examples of how we respectour friends, family, and others and how we celebrate what makes each of usunique, as well as what makes us the same.3 StoriesThe story of Ray and Sam and their community shows us how to celebrate giftsfrom other cultures and welcome people into our communities. Explain to thechildren that they have much in common with Ray and Sam.The boys in the story recognize when something wrong happens, and they takethe initiative to change it. Sam finds a way to be brave, confront his brother(someone he cares a lot about), and stand up for his best friend. Sam chooses lovefor his brother, for Ray, and for his community by doing what he knows is right.2019 The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in partnership withAs you read the story, pause and ask yourself these questions: How do you know that Sam and Ray are best friends? How does the message on the garage door make Ray feel? Why doeshe feel this way? What does Sam learn about Ray’s family? How do Sam and hisclassmates help their neighborhood feel more welcoming? How does Carter say he’s sorry? Why is it important to say, “I’m sorry”? How do Ray and Sam let each other know they are loved?4 Moving OnOnce the class has read the story, work with the children to complete theworksheet. Talk with them about how they can be examples of God’s love bybeing a good friend to other children. Explain that they can help others feelGod’s love by appreciating what makes each child unique and discoveringshared characteristics.W1839Everyone Belongs Program Introduction for Catechists Page 2
