Discover the Newly Updated Good News Program

Good News helps young children encounter Jesus through simple, joyful, and hands-on experiences rooted in each Sunday’s Gospel. Fully revised for 2026–2027, the program nurtures early faith through stories, activities, prayer moments, and age-appropriate connections to the Liturgical Year.

Designed for parishes, schools, and families, Good News invites our second- and third-grade children to recognize God’s love in their everyday lives—one Gospel at a time.
