Participating in Mass.
Just as you have responsibilities or jobs to do as part of your family at home,
we have responsibilities within our church family.
we have responsibilities within our church family.
|
As a family discuss some of the jobs or chores you have at home.
Why do you have these jobs? Do they help you be a member of your family? Do they help you appreciate what you have? Do they prepare you for the future? As Christians we call this responsibility our mission. This is what God calls us to do, to live full lives.
God asks us to use our gifts to help others in our worldwide family thrive and flourish. Within the church family the jobs we have are called ministries. There are many ways we can help.
Can you list some ministries that
are available at your Parish: Here are some ideas to get you started: Helping the sick, visiting people, welcoming people to mass, helping with children’s liturgy, being an alter server, reading, participating in the music groups, cleaning the church.
