Helping children understand each week's Sunday scriptures with relatable cartoon characters and original music scores is how Isabella D'Angelo chooses to use her time and talents to help build the kingdom of God.
As many set resolutions for what they would like to accomplish in 2021, we propose a new way to live out the new year by selecting ONE WORD as a resolution for the year ahead. Each member of a family, children as well, would select a word and think how they might bring themselves, family members, and others closer to doing God's Will each and every day. Sit in prayer and ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate the word to you. Below are just a few words that may help while deciding.
It may be helpful for each person, or family, to have a physical reminder in the home that will remind them of their word and resolution. It could be as simple as a sign with the word, Crucifix, a statue, a Holy Card, or the Bible, etc. This is a great activity to decide on words together and create a visual reminder to post in the home.

The prayer for the Year of St. Joseph—To you, O blessed Joseph (Ad te, beate Ioseph)—was composed by Pope Leo XIII in his 1889 encyclical, Quamquam Pluries. The Holy Father asked that it be added to the end of the Rosary especially during October, the month of the Holy Rosary. This prayer is enriched with a partial indulgence (Source: USCCB).
St. Mark will begin reciting the following prayer during Mass on Wednesdays, beginning January 6th.
Holy Mother of God, to you we consecrate this New Year. You, who know how to cherish things in your heart, care for us, bless our time, and teach us to find time for God and for others. With joy and confidence, we acclaim you: Holy Mother of God! Holy Mother of God! Holy Mother of God!
“Time is a treasure that all of us possess,” he (Pope Francis) continued, but that we often guard jealously. Instead, “Let us ask for the grace to find time for those who need someone to listen and show concern for them.” He said, “If we can find time to give, we will be amazed and filled with joy, like the shepherds.” Read more...
