Christmas Family Prayer

Across Australia, families, schools and parishes have had to face significant challenges and uncertainty this year, adapting to the new conditions of living with the COVID-19 pandemic.

The usual opportunities for gathering to celebrate and connect in our families, school and church communities have not been possible, which has impacted the wellbeing for many in our communities. 

It is at times like these, that our prayers and connection with family, friends and colleagues, is especially important.

With this in mind, and understanding there may be restrictions on end of year celebrations and liturgies in many communities, the National Catholic Education Commission has produced a Christmas Family Prayer for school and education office staff, students and families, which can be downloaded and/or printed.
