Continuing to produce our program has become increasingly challenging for us. Since March, my husband Mark and I have been producing and sharing our free 25 minute Children’s Liturgy videos in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Please support us by becoming a patron at https://www.patreon.com/kidsliturgy .

Thank you for sharing your children with us this weekend! May God bless you and your families, and may He keep you safe and well. See you next Sunday!
