Involve your children in the life of your parish without having to reinvent the wheel. Shadowing adult or teen music ministers, ushers and ministers of hospitality, as well as lectors help them to know about and participate in parish ministries. Teaming up with a parent also strengthens family life!
Remember that Election Day is November 4. To demonstrate to children our responsibility to vote, OSV has created a pamphlet and prayer card related important topic. Download them here»
I would like to take a moment and introduce myself to our loyal readers. My name is David Dziena and I am the new Parish Acquisitions Editor at Our Sunday Visitor. I have been involved in catechetical publishing for over ten years and parish ministry for most of my life.
We'll be working at improving Teaching Catholic Kids and being more responsive to your requests. This month, we've updated our "Activities" offerings. Activity One will now focus on younger children while Activity Two has something for older kids.
