Worship@Home is a free online resource to help families with children pray together at home while we are unable to gather for Sunday Mass, right from their iPad or phone. It is based on and inspired by Sunday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest: Leader's Guide and the Directory for Masses with Children (from the Congregation for Divine Worship).
It gently coaches parents and their families through the age-appropriate prayer experience, and even makes it a little fun. It is a Liturgy of the Word that includes music, videos on the Gospel reading, reflection questions to discuss as a family, prayer intentions and more. FREE!

To mark the fifth anniversary of the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, on the 19 March 2021, Pope Francis inaugurated a special year dedicated to the family entitled, Year “Amoris Laetitia Family”. This special year will highlight the importance of the family within the domestic Church and encourage community ties between families through several spiritual, pastoral and cultural proposals.
In preparation for the Year “Amoris Laetitia Family”, the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life has provided the attached resource brochure, in English and French, with pertinent information and suggestions for the special year, which will open on the 19 March 2021 and conclude on the 26 June 2022 at the celebration of the 10th World Meeting of Families, in Rome.
Throughout the year, the Dicastery will be providing supplementary information and resources. You are also invited to consult the Dicastery’s website dedicated to the Year “Amoris Laetitia Family”:

The brochure is being forwarded to you for your information and possible distribution with personnel who assist in the ministry to families.
