Going to Mass as a family is an opportunity for grace, but also an area where many Catholic parents struggle!
We get it! Going to Mass with kids can feel completely different than Mass without kids. Yet the Mass is where you belong and where your kids belong.
God entrusted our children - HIS children - into our care. But how do we answer this call? It starts with talking to our kids about God and helping them prepare, engage, and reflect on the Mass. Not sure where to start? We’re here to help!
In collaboration with Ablaze Families, we created a free, instant download including our 3 step roadmap for going to Mass as a family. This download gives you a free preview of our larger 52 week digital guide, Every Sacred Family, including 10 pages of our favorite tips, prayers, and routines for going to Mass as a family. We hope y’all love it and thank you for joining us in saying “Yes!” to God, one Sunday at a time!
In Him,
Kassie & Christie
What’s inside?
3 Steps for a more peaceful Mass experience, with tips and advice curated by Catholic parents and reviewed by a Catholic theologian. Get all 10 pages of advice on how to:
Prepare: Jesus doesn’t want to make Sunday mornings harder for you — he wants to redeem them and bring peace to your home! In this guide, we go beyond logistical tips (although we include those too!) to give you a clear plan for preparing with peace for Mass as a family.
Engage: A toddler engages with the Mass differently than a teenager! We help you shift from a “behavior modification” mindset to an “engagement” mindset, with specific tips for each age group.
Continue the conversation: We know we need to talk to our kids about our faith, but it can be difficult to know where to start! With multiple conversation starters centered around the 3 pillars of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness, this section equips parents to have meaningful conversations with their kids throughout the week.

About Every Sacred Sunday
Hi friend! We’re Christie and Kassie, co-founders of Every Sacred Sunday. ESS started when we were in a Bible study together and wished for a beautiful, intentional, sustainable Mass journal with the full Mass readings - as soon as we put it on paper, we could feel the Holy Spirit calling us to take a big leap! Since then, we’ve been doing our best to keep saying “Yes!” to God, one Sunday at a time.
