Happy Wednesday everyone.
Today you will be learning about The Pope. Have a look at the powerpoint below.
Every pope has three main jobs:
- He teaches us by writing and preaching about Jesus.
- He governs, or leads, us with the power handed down to him from St. Peter.
- He sanctifies us, or helps make us holy, through prayer and the sacraments.
Although The Pope has just three primary jobs, he has many names, or titles. Fill in the missing vowels to find just five of his many titles. (Use the powerpoint to help you.)
