Start a conversation to prepare for Mass
Saint Andrew Parish has supplied every family with the book “Celebrating Sunday for Catholic Families 2024-25” published by Liturgy Training Publications.
We invite everyone at home or during religion class to take a moment to prepare for Mass by reading the Gospel and having a short conversation with the discussion questions asked in the book. The video included here will help inspire your own conversations.
The Sunday Gospel readings can be found at https://bible.usccb.org/

While few of us have daily experiences with sheep, we can easily grasp the concept of staying close to the one who makes us feel safe and whose voice we recognize. In fact, that something we learn as children. Children are often aware of their dependance, but a we grow older our experiences sometime lead us not to trust as much. That is why the image of a Good Shepherd is so important to us. Do you recognize the voice of the Good Shepherd? What would it take for you to believe that he holds you tenderly in his hands?
