Sunday Mass: a sacred invitation - will you accept?

April 22, 2025
By Kelly Marriott, Religion Coordinator

If a friend invited your family to dinner and told you Jesus would be there, wouldn’t you do whatever it took to attend, knowing the immeasurable blessing of being in His presence? Each time Mass is celebrated, Jesus is truly present. Do whatever it takes to attend every Sunday Mass so your family is blessed by:

  • Nourishment for the Soul – Just as parents ensure their children eat well to grow strong and healthy, Jesus provides the spiritual food we need to
    strengthen our souls. The Eucharist is not just symbolic; it sustains and transforms us.
  • Obedience to God – He explicitly calls us to keep the Sabbath holy. Bringing children to Mass teaches them to prioritize God’s law, reinforcing the
    importance of obedience in all aspects of life.
  • Hearing God’s Word – In a world full of distractions, children must learn to listen to God above all else. At Mass, they hear Scripture proclaimed, forming a
    habit of recognizing and responding to His voice.
  • Belonging to a family – Every Catholic, young and old, belongs to God’s family, the Church. “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the
    midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). Children bless others simply by being active members.
  • Regular Mass attendance isn’t just a duty—it’s a gift that helps children become spiritually strong.
