Pitch-In: Family Reflection Video

Strengthening family unity

There are 1.2 billion Catholics in the world and every single one of us is called to pitch in.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus compares the Kingdom of God to a mustard seed that grows into a thriving bush. The seed cannot fulfill its potential without the helping hands of the planter … all of us.

If we all pitch-in the Catholic Church will fulfill its potential to be the greatest force for good in the world. Our smallest action in word and deed will have a ripple effect and will transform others in great love.

What are some small acts that you and your family can do to increase the growth of the Kingdom of God? Brainstorm a list of things you can do in your neighborhood, at school and in your home. Share your ideas below!

Thank you for joining us today. May God continue to bless you and your family!
