How to Use Holy Heroes in Your Parish

Wondering how to utilize Holy Heroes in your parish?

Over the years, we have created products and online resources that are phenomenal for parishes and Catholic schools!

Here are a few ways you can use Holy Heroes resources in your parish (pssst…we’d love if you sent this blog to your DRE, Parish Priest, or CCD instructor)!

Don’t forget that Parishes and Schools also receive a special discount–email us at customerservice@holyheroes.com or call us at 855-879-2246 to learn more!

Holy Heroes Mass Prep

Great for CCD classes, this FREE program provides weekly Gospel videos, coloring pages, and mass quizzes that prepare kids for Sunday Mass!

A perfect addition to any CCD classroom, this is a fantastic way to prepare kids before Mass and keep them focused with additional resources throughout the Liturgy of the Word! Signing up is free and every week you will receive a video explaining Sunday’s Gospel, coloring pages, and weekly mass quizzes!

Do you need our Sunday Mass Prep program early so you can plan your lessons before the weekend? We created our Mass Prep Early Access program for DREs and Catholic teachers who need our materials early for their lesson planning. Click here to learn more.

You can also find additional free online programs for a range of liturgical seasons and devotions (like Lent or a Marian Consecration) here!

Pamphlets on the Faith (example: How to have a Fruitful Family Lent)

With a significant bulk discount, you can hand our Holy Heroes pamphlets out to parishioners or set out in the back of the narthex. And as always, bulk discounts automatically apply at checkout.

Our pamphlets on How to Make the Five First Saturdays and How to Make the Nine First Fridays are great for parishes who are striving to grow these devotions. For the upcoming Lenten Season, How to have a Fruitful Family Lent is a great way to encourage the families in your parish in their Lenten preparations! More than just telling people to give something up for Lent, inside this pamphlet you will find:

• What the true goal of Lent is–and what once-yearly event will occur in Easter Sunday Mass
• A reminder of what Lent is not all about (self-help and self-improvement) and what Lent is about (God changing us in the ways He wants to)
• Sources of strength for you and your family to imitate Jesus and grow closer to Him and to one another
• How the Mass readings in Lent are designed to nurture us along “Stepping Stones to Easter Joy” — and much more!

These are a great pamphlets for the Church vestibule, an RCIA handout, a bulletin addition, or just leave them in a local chapel for people to take (we leave our How to Make a Holy Hour in our local Eucharistic Adoration chapel)!

You can also use our Lent & Easter Seasons Calendars for your parish or school–available with bulk discounts, this is a great way to engage your parish community with both liturgical seasons!

Holy Heroes Stations of the Cross Booklet

This bi-lingual booklet is used by Catholics of all ages (children through adults) to pray the Stations of the Cross. With accompanying pictures, this booklet helps children “match” the stations in the book to the ones hanging in the Church.

Every station includes a two-page spread complete with an image, description, prayers, and a verse of the Stabat Mater. This booklet is both appropriate for adults and engaging for children! We have many parishes getting it for Friday evening Stations of the Cross during Lent!

You can also find our Stations of the Cross audio CD which has been broadcasted worldwide by EWTN, Ave Maria, and other radio networks since 2010. We also offer this CD as a 10-pack to be handed out at a parish!

Participating at Holy Mass Coloring Download

NEW: Over 40-pages of coloring covering the entire participation at Holy Mass! Broken into the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist, with both downloads kids in CCD or a Catholic classroom will go step-by-step through:

• What to do when you enter the church
• What to look for in the church
• What to watch for (and why) during Holy Mass
• What your response is to everything you see and hear–the words, the gestures, the postures!

Personalized Baptism Cards

Needed for all Baptism Prep Classes!

Instill the importance of remembering our Baptism Day with our personalized Baptism Cards! These cards are personalizable with the name, date, godparents, and parish information for each newly baptized baby! Such a sweet reminder that families can hang up in their home so they celebrate each child’s baptism anniversary!

With bulk discounts, parishes can hand these out to the parents of newly baptized babies!

BONUS: Confession Pack for Kids

This is a must-have for sacramental prep classrooms!

The Holy Heroes Confession Pack gives children an Examination of Conscience booklet, an Act of Contrition prayer card, and several Confession sheets for keeping track of what they need to confess.

A great way to prepare kids for their First Confession or provide a refresher for older students who need some encouragement. This is especially appropriate during Lent, a time for penance and preparation leading up to Easter Sunday.

Reinvigorate the youngest Catholics in your parish with these Confession Packs!

There are dozens of other ways that you can use our Holy Heroes online programs and resources with your parish!

If you have any questions, please call us at 855-879-2246 and Kristine would be happy to help!
