CATHOLIC ADVENT PRAYER BOOK FOR KIDS

MAKE ADVENT A SEASON OF HOPE, PEACE, JOY, AND LOVE FOR YOUR CHILDREN!

Christmas is about more than presents, decorations, and celebrations. It is a beautiful time for children to discover the story of Jesus, grow closer to God, and prepare their hearts to welcome Christ.

CATHOLIC ADVENT PRAYER BOOK FOR KIDS invites children and Catholic families to experience the wonder of Advent through 26 days of simple prayers, Bible verses, thoughtful reflections, and acts of kindness leading up to Christmas.

Designed to help young readers grow in faith one day at a time, this companion makes it easier for parents and teachers to introduce Catholic Advent traditions and create meaningful moments of prayer at home, in the classroom, or during family devotions.

Follow the four traditional Advent themes as your child prepares for the birth of Jesus:

• WEEK ONE - HOPE: Discover God's promises, learn to wait with faith, and remember that Jesus is our light and Good Shepherd.
