PRAYZfamilies
It's Children's Ministry - redesigned!
While the pandemic is preventing us from having PRAYZkids, the PRAYground and Children's Liturgy of the Word, it can't stop families from praising together! Sign your family up TODAY to this new Children's Ministry option.
Each family who signs up to be a PRAYZfamily will receive a "Celebrating Sunday for Catholic Families" book for free! The book will guide you through:
a weekly Sunday passage from scripture
a short scripture reflection
two conversation questions, and
a suggested activity
You'll also be included in a private PRAYZfamilies Facebook group where we'll share about the conversations and Sunday activity experience. -
