Mass will not be available for our parishes on youtube this week; Fr. Mike is working on ways to keep that up. However, our Pastor Fr. Kenny St. Hilaire livestreams his masses in Colville each weekend on Youtube that everyone is welcome to watch. The Cathedral and other parishes also provide options for Mass at home as well.

Sunday Mass Family Resources

St. Joseph the Worker Family Page

St. Joseph the Worker is a church website that shares an overview of the Sunday Mass themes through their Family Page. It includes a simple summary of the Gospel lesson and an idea for an activity related to the theme to help remember it. The Family Page is also downloadable as a PDF. Here's an excerpt from their page:

Family Chat: Today Jesus tells us another parable and warns us about what will happen at the end of time to those who do not listen to him.

Why don’t we like weeds? Weeds stop other plants from growing strong; weeds can choke the roots of the good plant and their leaves can be prickly. We have our own weeds too; they are our sins and failings, our pain and heartache, evil and disasters in the world.

Sunday Mass Family Page

Holy Heroes Mass Prep

Holy Heroes offers a Children's Mass Prep page each Sunday including a video illustrating the Gospel of the Week to be easier for children to understand.

Catholic Kids Media Homily Video

Catholic Kids Media publishes a video illustrating the week's readings along with a short homily. It's a great video to watch before mass as a first introduction for that Sunday. Watch it a few times if you need to!
