FROM OUR EDITORS
March 8, 2026 – 3rd Sunday of Lent
Next week, we begin the last unit of our Faith Formation program. If your program or school year extends beyond the Gospel Weeklies program year, which ends with Sunday May 10, consider planning to use our Summer Solemnities Unit. Now available in both English and Spanish! Note that Spanish lessons are available as digital only.
If you’re involved with OCIA or OCIA Adapted for Children in your parish, you know that this Sunday is the First Scrutiny. Visit gospelweeklies.com/ocia to explore the resources we’ve created to support those who use the Gospel Weeklies with children preparing for the Easter sacraments. We offer catechist formation videos in both English and Spanish for the four periods of the process. We also offer reflections and questions—for adults and children—for all the Sundays of the Gospel Weeklies program year. Find videos for the Scrutiny lessons here.
If your class meets on Sunday mornings, make sure to note that Daylight Savings Time begins this weekend! It’s time to “spring ahead,” which we all know is a tough adjustment to make.
Every week in the GROW newsletter, you will find helpful tips for teaching your Gospel Weeklies lesson, a reflection on the Sunday Gospel, and links to online resources. […] [READ MORE]
