“All families need God. Every single one. We need His help, His strength, His blessing.”
Pope Francis

FAMILY STUDY GUIDE ON THE EUCHARIST

The Catechetical Office and the Office for Family Life of the Archdiocese of Newark are pleased to provide you with this timely resource during the Year of the Family. This family study guide addresses the major themes explored in “Returning to Grace,” Cardinal Tobin’s pastoral letter on the Eucharist. It is intended to supplement the pastoral letter, which you and your family are encouraged to read carefully and prayerfully before discussing the reflection questions together. It is our hope and prayer that your time together reflecting upon Cardinal Tobin’s pastoral letter and discerning the significance the Eucharist has in your life and in your family’s lives will lead you all to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
