Teaching Catholic Kids

How are children a part of the life of your parish?

Helping the kids of the parish

Apprenticeship — A term we have recently associated with Donald Trump and his hit television show. But for those concerned about the future of parish life, Catholic children are tomorrow’s leaders.

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»

A new editor for TCK

Dave DzrienaI 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.

As always, email us with your ideas for new products. Comment on our products. Help us shape future OSV offerings. We want to learn from your experiences. Email me at ddziena@osv.com.
