Gospel for the Mass- Year B





CCD and Religious Education has ended for most folks and homeschooling as well so I am going to take a much needed break from posting Gospel for the Mass activities. I will start this feature on this blog in August and post activities for the month of September.

*I plan on doing something different for the Gospel of the Mass in August. I will have a new page:

Gospel for the Mass- Year B

There I will post the Gospel for the Mass Year B by date and scripture. A link will take you directly to the post on my blog for that Gospel reading. I hope it will make it easier for you to find what you need. I plan on doing a Year C and a Year A page as well so everyone can find activities whenever they need them.



For those who need Gospel for the Mass activities during the summer, here is a list of my favorite websites:

Free teaching guides are provided. *Sample pages are posted.
