Family Life
Jesus said, “Let the children come to me!”
Children’s Liturgy is suspended until we reach Level 1 again.
Our children will have many questions for us, and a lot of help is available: advice on washing hands, wearing masks and staying healthy. Teachers are supporting their academic study.
Here are some Christ-centred resources for you to continue nurturing your family in the Catholic faith.
This page will be updated regularly as the year unfolds.
We welcome Gospel reflection activities that have worked in your family that could be included on this page.
