Parent's Prayer and Liturgy

November is traditionally a month for remembering all those we love who have died. The Church celebrates the Solemnity of All Saints and All Souls Day, when we remember and pray with the Communion of Saints - all holy men and women of faith who have gone before us. Nationally, on Remembrance Sunday, we remember those who have died in wars around the world.

Throughout the month, children will be encouraged to pray for those who have died, reflect on the example of the saints and think about how they can follow Jesus in their daily lives. Then, as November draws to a close, so does the Church’s liturgical year with the feast of Christ the King, the season of Advent begins and children start to prepare for the birth of Jesus. This newsletter shares some of the content children will experience in school throughout November, and suggests ways for you to engage with them about it. We hope it is a useful resource for your family prayer time.
