Hi,

Tomorrow at Mass I need to speak for 2-3 minutes on Generations of Faith, first grade CCD class and Liturgy of the Word for Children, before our religious education coordinator makes an appeal for the second collection. Any advice? I have a 7 and 10 year old; we attend all the GOF, the 7-year-old’s in CCD, and I sometimes lead Children’s Liturgy of the Word.

I thought about just briefly describing each program. Another option was one or two anecdotes about my children in connection with these programs. I also wondered about expressing my personal gratitude for these programs, or perhaps instead talking about the programs as a source of church community that we can all feel blessed for and proud of.
 
Hi,

Why not emphasize the necessity for teaching the children about God’s goodness and our responsibility to put Him above all else–in a culture that is becoming increasingly more God-less! Without such awareness, our children will never reach the goal of union with Him. The early years aren’t called formative for nothing. We are living in desperate times and we all need to wake up!

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
