WHO IS THE CONTENT AIMED AT?

Because The Wednesday Word shares the Gospel it is aimed at everyone. However, the resource seeks to engage in particular with the majority of school parents who do not appear to be currently interested in existing adult or child catechesis, or in the Church. We aim therefore aim to promote Catholic truth sensitively but in an inspiring way, and to inform parents about the relevance of the faith for themselves and their children.

The resource is primarily seeking to support and share the Good News with parents and carers, because it is the adult's relationship with God that will have the most significant impact on the future faith-life of the family. This in turn inevitably contributes to the overall well-being of the family.

The Wednesday Word aims to help schools and the Church to enhance links with parents and carers. This we believe will greatly enrich and help to achieve the aims of the home, school and parish partnership.

The Wednesday Word is also an excellent way for practising Catholic families to prepare for the proclamation of the Gospel at the coming Sunday Mass. It also helps them to transmit the faith to their children and so further develop the domestic church.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Imagine a sower going out to sow. Some seeds fell on rich soil and produced their crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."
