Join Catholic composer, John Burland, and myself for a new sing-a-long special called “Songs to Journey with Jesus during Lent.” This free children’s video introduces children to the season of Lent and invites children to sing along to some of John’s special songs for this prayerful liturgical season.

Since March 2020, my husband Mark and I have been producing and sharing our free 30 minute Children’s Liturgy videos in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Continuing to produce our program has become increasingly challenging for us. 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 family, and may He keep you safe and well. Have a blessed Holy Week, and see you next week as we celebrate Jesus’ glorious Resurrection on Easter Sunday!
