Start with Sunday

What it is

Start with Sunday is a family faith-formation program from the Diocese of Bridgeport. Each week it shares the upcoming Sunday's readings along with animated videos and activities for kids, so parents can talk through the Gospel at home before going to Mass. Families can sign up to get each week's materials by email.

The program also aims to help parishes make Sunday Mass a welcoming place for children, their parents, and people with different learning needs.

Sunday Setup

Sunday Setup is the weekly post on the site. Each one is tied to that Sunday on the liturgical calendar, such as the Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time on October 18, 2026, and includes the readings plus the related video and activities.
