Staying Connected to Church While at Home
Some churches are slowly opening back up and resuming in-person services for the first time since the stay-at-home orders amid the coronavirus pandemic. If you prefer to continue social distancing, your child can still connect with God from home. Here’s how your family can connect with your faith from home.
Streaming Sermons
We are blessed to have digital technology, such as Zoom, YouTube, and Facebook, where churches have been live streaming sermons and other church services. With just a tap of a button, you can feel like you’re among your congregation at church. CatholicTV streams mass live online and has a phone app. Watch St. Teresa of Avila’s morning prayers on YouTube at your convenience.
Digital Donating
Payment apps have offered flexibility for tithes and offerings. Continue supporting the Church during these difficult times by donating online. Have a more global impact by downloading Tithe.ly, an app with tools that are built for churches and ministries. Sign up for free, cancel anytime, and you don’t even need to put a credit card on file.
Virtual Prayer Group
Take Sunday worship to a whole new level. Round up your church members and their children on Zoom or Google Hangout every week. The children can participate in virtual Bible study. It’s a great way to check in, offer encouragement, and socialize even while apart.
At-Home Altar
Set aside a day with your child to do arts and crafts to make items like a rosary or a prayer box, then designate a space in your home for an altar or adoration. Have your child set up the altar and add their pieces of holy art. It’s a creative way to implement more faith into your home life!
