Inspired by the joyful spirit of the Rejoice Sacraments program, Julianne Stanz, Director of Outreach for Evangelization and Discipleship at Loyola Press, wrote a beautiful prayer to help children and families open their hearts as they prepare for the sacraments.
Rejoice is more than a sacramental program; it’s an invitation to encounter God’s love with joy, confidence, and prayer.
