Gospel Champions computer game for all families
We are excited to offer all our Parish families a fully licensed copy of the Gospel Champions 2007-2008 game - at no cost.
Gospel Champions puts your child in the Gospel stories proclaimed at Mass throughout the year. They participate in a new story each month - bringing the Gospel to life.
Best of all, the game is sequenced with the lectionary! Each month the game presents a new Gospel story from one of the readings in the Mass. So kids hear it in mass and play it at home!

God in the Streets of New York
a Eucharistic Procession
"Do not be afraid to go out into the streets and into public places like the first apostles to preach Christ and the good news of salvation in the squares of cities." - Pope John Paul II, the Great
Anytime you bring Jesus to the streets things happen ... lives change ... vocations are born.
And this is what we need.
