Reclaiming Sundays
Introducing the Reclaiming Sundays video series
In fall 2025, watch for a new video series on reclaiming the peace, rest and leisure of Sundays with the Lord and family. As the first part of the Year III priority of Parents as Primary Educators of Their Children, this Reclaiming Sundays series will offer lasting habits to anchor each week in a joyful, prayerful and restful observance of Sunday.
Pope Francis reminds all Christians in Evangelli Gaudium that the joy that transforms our lives when we encounter the living Jesus is a joy that must be shared.
In January’s video of our Reclaiming Sundays series, Catholic parents Mike and Krysten Fulcher recall the warm welcome they received as newcomers to their parish, and how that experience has inspired them to seek out new families to invite into a community of faith. Let’s reclaim Sundays for the Lord and our families.
