Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Whether you’re a parent, a grandparent, a teen, a college student or a young adult, we encourage you to dig into Catholic Central. Amid the fun, costumes and great graphics in each bite-sized episode are solid nuggets of knowledge about the Faith. Be sure to go to CatholicCentral.com for downloadable resources. Just because it’s now Monday, do you think Easter’s over? Oh, no, it’s just getting started. Today begins Eastertide, a 50-day period that goes all the way to Pentecost Sunday on May 31.

Strengthening family unity | Why pray?
Frequent readers will recognize our dear Father Leo Polselli, C.S.C. Father Leo has written some beautiful reflections for your special family Rosary prayer on Good Friday … a most unusual Good Friday in the midst of a pandemic. You may use these reflections with your family at home, or with family and loved ones gathered online! Simply forward the document to them ahead of time so they can follow along. (There are helpful notes throughout the document for families new to Rosary prayer.)
