This month, we welcome guest speakers from St. Peters Hospital's Project Respect Ed. to share fun family activities and resources! The Project Respect Ed. program works with local school districts and communities to provide education and support for children ages 10-18 and their families in New Jersey. Your children may recognize our guest speakers: Program Managers Erika Arias and Jennifer Sevilla! Ms. Arias and Ms. Sevilla work closely with New Brunswick School District and other neighboring schools.
With your family, please join our zoom session on time and with your camera on. Below are the zoom links for each session. These links will also be sent in an email reminder prior to the session.

Mass Readings for Sunday, June 13: Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
In this weekend's Gospel, Jesus shares a parable to describe the kingdom of God. He explains that it is like a tiny seed that grows into something much bigger than itself.
Just like a plant grows when it has water, soil, and sunlight, we grow in God when we worship, pray, and talk about the Bible stories. Even though these might seem like little things to do, if we keep doing them on a regular basis, God’s love, light, and life will grow in us in a big way. And, if we are filled with God’s love, light, and life, that means we have God’s love, light, and life to share with the people around us, too.
As Catholic parents, we can reinforce this Gospel message to our children: We can never know when our small acts of kindness – lending a helping hand to someone in need or maybe even just sharing a smile – can grow into something very big and important. You might not even know how much your small act of kindness made a big difference in someone’s life!
Activities for Family
Spreading God's Kingdom of Kindness
Our Mass Readings this weekend connect the Kingdom of God to the beauty of Earth's nature and farming. As seeds sprout into a lavished crop, flower, or tree, we know as Catholics that our small kind acts can make a positive impact on others and the world.
This week with your children, reflect on small acts of kindness that they can share with your family and others. Feel free to use the charts below for ideas! Then, take a picture of your child's Act of Kindness showing the kind gesture, a picture of the kind act, or a picture of the family members/friends that your child completed this act of kindness for. Email me your child's picture (catherinek@holyfamilyforall.org) and I will post these photos in next week's newsletter!
