Year of St. Joseph

With the Apostolic Letter ‘Patris Corde’ (‘With a Father’s Heart’), Pope Francis recalls the 150th anniversary of the declaration of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. 

To mark the occasion, the Holy Father proclaimed a ‘Year of Saint Joseph’ from 8th December 2020, to 8th December 2021.

‘Fratelli Tutti’ - Pope Francis' Social Encyclical (October 2020)

Fraternity and social friendship are the ways the Pontiff indicates to build a better, more just and peaceful world, with the contribution of all: people and institutions. With an emphatic confirmation of a ‘no’ to war and to globalized indifference.

Fratelli Tutti

  Sunday 23rd January 2022

 

I hereby declare that the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time is to be devoted to the celebration, study and dissemination of the word of God. This Sunday of the Word of God will thus be a fitting part of that time of the year when we are encouraged to strengthen our bonds with the Jewish people and to pray for Christian unity. This is more than a temporal coincidence: the celebration of the Sunday of the Word of God has ecumenical value, since the Scriptures point out, for those who listen, the path to authentic and firm unity.

The various communities will find their own ways to mark this Sunday with a certain solemnity. It is important, however, that in the Eucharistic celebration the sacred text be enthroned, in order to focus the attention of the assembly on the normative value of God’s word.

(Pope Francis, Aperuit Illis, 3)

Each episode of The Mark 10 Mission is made up of 5 key elements:

  1. Welcome from a host

  2. The reading of the Sunday Gospel

  3. A reflection unpacking the Scripture

  4. A time of guided prayer

  5. A song of worship

Redemptorist Publications is pleased to introduce Celebrate: an initiative designed to help children grow in their faith. 

Each week they will provide a Children’s Liturgy in the form of a video of the week’s Gospel reading, a reflection and a final prayer.  

Fun, engaging and practical worksheets/resources will also be provided to help children continue to practise their faith.
