As
Catholics we belong to the Church throughout the world
and to the local Church of the diocese of which our
parish is a part. This week your child has learned that
the parish is the community where the family lives out
its call to bring about the kingdom, or reign, of God on
earth. The parish is centered around the Eucharist. We
worship God together and are strengthened to reach out
to love and serve others, especially those most in need.
Vatican II reminds us that we are the people of God, the
Church and are called to share our faith. We need to
teach our children that all of us are the parish and we
are to be active members.
Our
Parish
See
how much you and your child can find out about your
parish history. If possible, involve the entire family
in this project. How old is the parish? How does your
parish continue Jesus' mission by caring for the needs
of others? Who is your present pastor? If you and your
child have not met your pastor, stop after Mass and
introduce yourselves.
