Family Gospel Lessons

To learn more about our Lord Jesus Christ and how we are called to live as Christians, we must read His Word. This resource is meant to guide your family through the Church year according to the Sunday Gospel lessons. Each one-page handout (front and back) has the text from the Bible, brief background information, activities (for young children as well as teens), prayers, quotes or stories, and further resources. It is our hope that through this resource, families will make reading the Gospel a priority in their preparation for the Divine Liturgy.
