Keeping the Lord's Day Pastoral Letter

Small Group Study Guide

In support of His Excellency, Bishop Johnston's, recent pastoral letter, Keeping the Lord’s Day, the Office of Domestic Church & Discipleship has published a 3-lesson guided study for use by families or small groups.

In light of the serious impact that COVID has had on our communities, it is our hope that this study guide will serve as a useful tool to bring together families, parishes, small groups, youth groups, and others wanting to establish or renew a commitment to the importance of Sundays and Holy Mass. Filled with scripture reflections, beautiful sacred art, suggestions for celebrating Sunday, and the full text of Bishop Johnston’s pastoral letter, this booklet offers a concise way to unpack God’s beautiful gift of rest.

Due to the generosity of the Missouri State Council of the Knights of Columbus, we are able to offer these study booklets, available in both English and Spanish, as a gift to you; we would simply need you to cover the cost of shipping to deliver them to your parish. You may also be able to have a parish representative pick them up at the chancery if you have someone attending meetings in the near future.
