Bishop Dolan invites us to consider the servant who buried his gift out of fear and confront how easily we can do the same. Again and again, Jesus expands our limited horizons: love your enemy, forgive seventy-seven times, bring what little you have.
WELCOME
Gifts trusted in hand,
Risk the gold to let it grow,
Fear buries the grace.

CATECHISM FOR KIDS
ST. JOSEPH’S CORNER (6:37)—In this episode, we explore The Parable of the Talents—a powerful story that Jesus told to help us understand the importance of using the gifts God gives us. Whether it’s singing, drawing, helping others, or learning new things, every child has special talents meant to glorify God and serve others! Through joyful storytelling, a fun chant, and a heartfelt prayer, children will learn:
✔️ What the Parable of the Talents means (Matthew 25:14–30)
✔️ Why it’s important to use our gifts and not hide them
✔️ How we can serve God with joy and love every day
✔️ God is pleased when we are faithful with what He gives us
