Meaningful Resources for Our Young People

Lent is a powerful season of reflection, growth, and spiritual exploration. For young people especially, this period can offer a profound opportunity to deepen their faith and understand the significance of journeying toward Easter. To support the youth in your parish, we've curated several dynamic and accessible resources designed specifically to engage and inspire young hearts and minds during Lent.

Below, you'll find resources carefully chosen to enrich the Lenten experience for young people:

Bible Explore: Week by week lectionary based resource

Catholic Icing:Hands on craft activities
The Religion Teacher:Stations of the Cross

The Bible project Lent Video Series:videos exploring key biblical themes of Lent and Easter
Catechist's Journey: A Lenten countdown for children
Loyola Press Lent Activities: Free downloadable activities, reflections, and prayers suitable for teens and younger youth
Catholic Sprouts:Lenten Finger Puppets

Kinder Craze: Interactive Sight Word Reader for Holy Week
40 Faith-Building Lenten Activities

We encourage leaders, parents, and young people alike to explore these offerings, fostering meaningful conversations, thoughtful reflection, and community connection during Lent. Together, let’s journey toward Easter with renewed spirit and purpose.
