Come to the Table

Come to the Table emerged out of a desire to invite our children more deeply into prayer. Rather than programs or curricula, we focus here on what children need most, on what we all need most: to be folded into nourishing rhythms of prayer in the everyday life of their family.

The source of Catholic life is our shared sacramental table. When our families gather at our own tables, those meals can be a preparation for, and an echo of, that Eucharistic mystery. We can pray not only in the words we speak but in an embodied way, in our gratitude at the food we are given, in our love for one another.

This is not always easy! Our initiative—and this website—exists to meet families where they are and to offer assistance and support. We hope these resources serve you well. We are always open to feedback and suggestions!
