We are pleased to once again be providing at-home resources to support families in deepening their experience of Advent through prayers and reflections that are developed and shared by the educators and faith animators on our Catholic Education Week Committee.

Advance Kit for Catholic Education Week 2022

From the Advance Kit:

The Advance Kit has five prayer and reflection activities for the five months preceding Catholic Education Week, each activity reflecting one of the five sub-themes of Catholic Education Week:

How can the Advance Kit be used in a local Catholic educational community?

Each service may be used to begin a meeting or gathering, or to provide an opportunity for the adult partners in a local Catholic education community to discuss the themes. Each prayer service includes:

• Prayers that reflect the theme
• A scripture reading that connects with the theme
• A personal reflection related to the scripture reading
• A theme-related reading taken from the contemporary Catholic spiritual writings
• Questions for discussion or reflection based on that reading
