During this time we are all spending in lockdown Fr Pale has put together for you some resources you may find interesting and informative for Faith Development.
Dynamic Catholic, Alive: We Will Serve the Lord
In the last chapter of the Book of Joshua we read, “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” How many of us wish that we could go back in time and be better spiritual leaders for our families when our children were younger? Too many of us think that it is too late to start. But all is not lost! Start now, be the spiritual leader you were called to be. Share the joy of your Catholic faith with others, especially your family members.
You are invited to look through the following faith development and liturgy resources, then read, listen to, or watch what you can and find yourself interested in. In the process, may your faith in God grow in you, and give you joy. Over time, additional resources will be added.
