PREPARING YOUR FAMILY FOR THE SUNDAY READINGS
Each week in our church bulletin we’ll provide a question for families to discuss on the way home, or during the week, about the Sunday readings. Then in Religious education class the catechists will allow time for children to share with their classmates what they discovered, and how the readings relate to their life today. It is important for children to connect going to Mass each week with their faith development. There are also many web sites we encourage your family to visit, with links for each Sunday’s gospel. One in particular we recommend is www.catholicmom.com
