Sunday Mass Preparation

Parents should prepare children for Sunday Mass to help them form a lasting relationship with God by explaining the meaning of Mass, fostering reverence for it as a sacred act, and teaching them to participate in worship. Preparation also ensures children are physically comfortable, mentally engaged, and understand the expectations for behavior, making the experience meaningful for the entire family.
