Some people have been asking me about resources for the Pope’s upcoming U.S. visit (April 15-18). Kids may have questions and this could be a good teaching moment. The U.S. bishops have an official Web site for the papal visit at http://www.uspapalvisit.org/
In particular, there is a link there for teaching resources.

Great links, thanks. I may be a week late, lol, but I think this’ll be a great lesson for this Sunday.
