1st grade students should have the following memorized:
Angel of God,
my guardian dear,
to whom God's love,
commits me
here,
ever this day,
be at my side,
to light and guard,
rule and guide.
Amen.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in
the beginning
is now and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou
among women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Holy Mary,
mother of God,
pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Our Father, who art in Heaven;
hallowed by Thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our
daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who
trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us
from evil.
V: Deliver us, Lord, from every evil,
and grant us peace in our day.
In
your mercy keep us free from sin
and protect us from all anxiety
as we
wait in joyful hope
for the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for
ever.
Amen.
Bless us, O Lord,
and these thy gifts,
which we are about to
receive from thy bounty,
through Christ, Our Lord.
Amen.
We give you thanks,
for all your benefits,
Almighty God,
who lives and reigns forever.
May the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God,
rest in peace.
Amen.
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
1st grade students should be introduced to or review:
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of Heaven and earth
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary;
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
He descended into hell;
on the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into Heaven,
sits at the right hand of God, the Father almighty;
from there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe
in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church,
the Communion of Saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life
everlasting.
Amen.
