One of the greatest challenges in pastoral ministry is how to explain as much of the riches of the sacred liturgy as we can to the faithful. Here in my parish, we are putting together a series of guides for our school and RE families to introduce them to all of those beautiful Catholic traditions. They are for private use, but here is my guide for Advent, Christmas and Epiphany in case you might want to get some ideas!

Thank you very much for posting this! I am working on my parish's Advent resources all week and might steal an idea or two from you in the process.
