This week's Bulletin
Dear Friends,
While we are exiled from gathering as parish communities, COVID is offering an opportunity for praying together in our homes.
Proclaim: The Office for Mission Renewal has produced a unique offering, which we hope may be a source of inspiration and enjoyment for families, encouraging them to come together to pray.
The Ready, Set, Pray! Children’s Liturgy of the Word @ Home video series provides an engaging space for families to encounter Jesus through the Sunday gospel.
Each week, families are invited to create and gather in their own prayer space, to sing, hear the Gospel, pray and respond creatively through an activity.
This weekly resource follows the familiar Children’s Liturgy of the Word format provided in many parishes – but moved to an online setting. Each weekly session runs for 15–20 minutes. It may be used by families in their homes, and also by teachers and catechists.
The series commenced last Sunday, 18 October, continuing each Sunday until Christmas. We hope this experience of gathering for prayer will encourage families at a time when they cannot gather for parish celebrations of the Eucharist. The series is produced by Proclaim: The Office for Mission Renewal.
