"The Lord's Day" Sunday Gospel Reflections

"The Lord's Day" Sunday Gospel Reflections

By St. Therese Institute

Go deeper into the Sunday Gospel, and make "keeping holy the Sabbath" a more important part of your life and a practice in your family, household or community.
One way that we strive to do this in St. Therese Institute's faith formation program is by inviting our students to participate in a weekly "The Lord's Day Celebration". We invite you to join them as we present to you the reflection that is weekly penned by one of our students and shared with our student community.
