Palm Sunday to Pentecost

Family Formation at Home

To help you keep the faith alive while the churches are closed, we have partnered with the NFCYM and independent Catholic artists to bring compact faith formation sessions to your living room. Gather your family, play the video, and sing and pray along with us. Videos will be posted as they are available.
