SUNDAY CONNECTION

God speaks to us in many ways, including through the Sunday Scripture readings. The Sunday Connection provides useful background and activities to better understand the upcoming Sunday's Scripture readings, helping you to connect the Scripture to daily life in a meaningful way.

Each week, please click on the link provided here, and gather as a family to read the scripture passage for the weekend liturgy. Participate with the family in discussion and any activities suggested or develop your own interaction. As a family, you can use the general section or click on the grade level most suited for a family if there are multiple children. We encourage you as a family to participate in these resources. It is also recommended, that reading the scripture before attending Mass will prove beneficial for the children and you, regardless of age.
