Reclaiming Sundays
“… this effort is designed to meet families where they are and…help them take meaningful steps to reorient their Sundays—and their entire lives—to reflect the gift of the Lord’ s Day.”
September's theme is a foundational pillar in the 12-month campaign: prayer. This is the cornerstone for all “Reclaiming Sunday” efforts and will be carried out each month.
Suggested September Activities
Attend Mass every Sunday this month
Prepare your family for Mass by reading the Gospel in advance. Consider laying out clothes, finding everyone’s shoes, and doing anything else that will make the morning peaceful and efficient
Pray before meals as a family and individually
Institute the Lord’s Day evening prayer on either Saturday or Sunday. Ask for everyone in the family to offer prayer intentions
Visit an adoration chapel for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or more as a family
