From Mass to Mission-Understanding the Mass and Its Significance for Our Christian Life for Children Leader’s Guide

Participating at Sunday Mass is the most important action of the week for Catholic Christians. From Mass to Mission deepens our understanding of the Mass and how it shapes us to live as Christ’s disciples in the world. Developed for three different age groups (adults, teens, and children), the From Mass to Mission series includes booklets and Leader’s Guides that offer the entire parish the opportunity to grow deeper in their understanding and participation in the liturgy.
