Unpacking Sunday's Scripture readings

​SOME USEFUL LINKS FOR FAMILIES

Youth and Children's Work - Faith at Home resource for those seeking to develop children’s faith... at home. We know that seeking to raise the next generation of Jesus-followers isn’t easy, but hopefully the ideas, stories, advice on reading the Bible and praying together as a family can help.
School closures: Home activities - As the coronavirus causes schools to close, you can use Mission Together's​ free, downloadable resources to use in homeschooling, or for support staff caring for children in school.
Catholic Icing - Lots of free catholic craft ideas and resources, from a homeschooling mum.
Kidz Zone - Fun global activities for children to do at home or at school. Explore CAFOD and the wider world with our online games for kids, films and prayers for children, as well as printable activities to do indoors or outdoors.
​Free colouring pages -about saints including interesting information about the saints.  This may also inspire your children to create some of their own, in a similar style, about other saints or maybe other people from the bible.
