Mass can be… a lot.
For parents, it might feel like crowd control.
For teens, it’s easy to feel disconnected—zoning out during the homily, unsure how any of it applies to real life.
For young adults, it’s the desire for something deeper and more challenging—beyond a children’s reflection, but without getting lost in something overly academic or dry.
And yet—Mass is the source and summit of our faith. It’s meant to be an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist.
But most of us aren’t walking in ready for that.
We’re distracted, tired, overwhelmed—or unsure how to make the Mass come alive.
The truth? The more we understand the Mass, the more we can enter into it.
But no one has time to curate custom prep for each age group every Sunday. That’s where Mass Prep comes in.
Mass Prep has three tracks, all included with your one subscription.

What if we have a family with several ages?
Perfect. That’s exactly who we made this for. We have three tracks for Mass Prep, and with one subscription you can access them all. We made it our goal to have the scripture readings, reflections, and sacred art be accessible for the whole family. In Mass Prep for Families, we've even divided the discussion questions into three age groups (3-6 years, 6-9 years, and 9-12 years) so you can tailor the prep specifically to your family. And because it’s all in one place (and super short), you can easily go through it together or break it up to meet each kid where they’re at—without doing three separate lessons.
How much time does this take each week?
Mass Prep is designed to be short, simple, and effective. Most spend about 5–10 minutes with it each week. (Though, sometimes your kids might surprise you and want to spend more time on the discussion questions.)
I’m not sure my kids would be into Mass Prep for Families. What if they don’t want to do it?
Great question! Kids respond differently when faith feels like a natural part of family life, not just another lesson or checklist. This isn’t homework—it’s meaningful family time. And even if they don’t seem into it at first, the consistency, warmth, and simplicity speak volumes. Every child craves connection with their parents (yes, even the eye-rolling ones), and this gives you a way to nurture that connection while nurturing their faith.
What if me or my child are neurodivergent or struggle with attention?
You are not alone—and this resource was made with you or your family in mind, too. Mass Prep is intentionally short, flexible, and gentle. It’s not a script or a lesson plan—it’s a simple invitation to connect with the Gospel, with no pressure to sit still or "perform." You can easily adapt it to you or your child’s needs, attention span, or sensory preferences. Want to play the audio instead of reading? Great. Prefer to look at the sacred art and just talk about one question? Beautiful.
Do I need to download anything?
Nope! It comes straight to your phone via text—nothing to install, print, or accidentally delete.
What if I need to cancel?
Monthly members can cancel anytime—no guilt, no questions asked. Annual memberships are a one-time commitment and include full-year access.
Do I need to buy multiple subscriptions for different ages?
Nope! One subscription gives you access to all three tracks—Families, Teens, and Young Adults. Everything is delivered to one phone number, so your whole household can prepare together.
Okay, real talk, you might be thinking:
Okay, real talk, you might be thinking:
"I love this so much, but I already have a drawer/inbox FULL of good intentions: PDFs, downloads, and liturgical living ideas that felt inspiring… until life happened.”
We feel that!
We can’t tell you how many times we've had a great idea for a Gospel activity or family devotion—only for the week to fly by in a blur of errands, homeschool, meal prep, and so. much. laundry.
Life is full and beautiful and busy. And our goal with Mass Prep is simple—help you do what matters the most… more consistently.
Because that’s what this is all about: Matthew 28:19—making disciples. Helping you and your family get to Heaven.
And sometimes that doesn’t start with big plans or beautifully laminated crafts. It starts with five minutes. One text. A simple rhythm that actually happens.
If you’ve read this far and you’re still not sure….
If you’ve read this far and you’re still not sure….
That makes total sense. We know you don’t want another subscription collecting dust—or another thing to feel guilty about not using.
And no, this won’t make your kids sit perfectly still or whisper Gregorian chant on the way in…
This won't keep you from zoning out halfway through the homily…
This won’t fix every doubt, distraction, or late Saturday night that makes Sunday morning hard…
But if you're not preparing at all right now, what are you really taking away from the Mass?
Because as much as we’d love the liturgy to do all the heavy lifting, most of us aren’t walking into church ready to meet Jesus, let alone our children and teens.
That little bit of prep? It matters. It plants seeds. It prepares hearts to receive what’s always been waiting for them.
Let’s be honest—$9 doesn’t go far at Target. But here? It prepares hearts for eternity.
And with a no-questions-asked, cancel-anytime policy, you can try it for a month with complete peace of mind.
