Holy Childhood Association offers Web-based mission education

Published: 2006-06-02

NEW YORK (CNS) -- The Holy Childhood Association has launched a new mission education module on "The Bread of Life" through its Web page. In addition to featuring "fun facts" about breads of the world, the Web site explains to young Catholics the connection they share with children of the developing world through the celebration of the Eucharist. It also encourages them to be missionaries by sharing news of Jesus' "special meal" and offers grade-specific mission education/activity sheets for free downloading. "This most recent addition to our Web site demonstrates our continued commitment to enhancing mission education through the use of new technologies," said Msgr. John E. Kozar, national director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in the United States. "The Bread of Life" module can be reached from the Holy Childhood Association Web site, www.worldmissions-catholicchurch.org/hca, by clicking on "What's New Now?"
