Making Our Sunday Celebration a Family Affair
My children's Catechist has been talking to them about the Jubilee year. She especially recommended that they tell their families about the importance of celebrating the Sabbath day together. The catechist sent home a note with the children asking us to reflect on the Sunday Gospel. She also enclosed a list of petitions for us to fill out as a family. My husband and I were really impressed by the way our children participated in this project.

After the petitions were filled out, we brought them to Church the following Sunday. Not every child gets a chance to read his or her own petition every Sunday, but every petition is read.

You might want to fill out the following Petition list with your family.
