- All the readings and the prayers of the Sunday Mass with explanations of the difficult words and the meaning of the rituals;
- A suggested prayer for Morning and Evening;
- Many suggestions on how to live the entire week with the Lord;
- Various games, a comic, and activities to help children learn about Christian life and culture;
- A page intended for the parents with suggestions for family prayers.
We hope you enjoy!
When St. John the Baptist parish in Tipton, Indiana, was forced to close its doors in 2014, the community wasn't sure what would happen. Thanks to the generous support provided by our diocesan family through the annual Catholic Ministries Appeal, the parish community was able to utilize diocesan resources to help alleviate the burden of designing and rebuilding their church.
By joining together with other parishes across central Indiana through this appeal, we have the opportunity to extend our hand out to those in our diocese in need of our support.
