Through an agreement with FamilyFormation.net, the Archdiocese of New Orleans is making the following resource available for FREE for parishes to print out for families in both English and Spanish. These resources are designed to be done in order, but you may choose to highlight or utilize only particular aspects of this resource.
The below resource has FOUR main lessons with different activities (For Spanish version, click HERE...we are still waiting on the Spanish version of Lesson 1: Where Heaven and Earth Meet). The first lesson is to be led by one of the catechetical leaders in the parish, and the successive lessons are led by parents. Please call Deacon Michael Whitehouse (504-861-6285) or Barbara McAtee (504-861-6303) if you have any questions on how to use this resource.
