Family, Faith, Fun Kits The Diocese of London is a mission-oriented church, and we believe that creating disciples of Jesus starts with the family. Parish representatives, with the Family and Youth Ministry Department, have been collaborating to create (free) summer subscription kits for young people (grades 1-6) and their families. Activities will engage subscribers in current themes of the Church – the Amoris Laetitia Family Year, and the Year of St. Joseph – and include a combination of online and offline activities to get to know and grow faith at home. The July Kit is available to order until June 30, 2021 here. For more information, please contact [email protected].
