INTRO

Each month, the Pope invites Catholics around the world to pray with him for a particular intention. Students will gain an understanding of these intentions, engage in prayer and reflection, and foster discussion through various activities.

These lesson plans will help students deepen their faith and come together in prayer with the Holy Father and the worldwide Catholic community.
