Children's Homily Song

Sunday Gospels and holy days, set to music so a child can hear the Word, sing it, and talk about it. Some videos are not about the Gospel. They are extra catechetical tools for young hearts. Made by Fr. Ryan Carnecer, CICM for any parish that needs a ready spark for class.

Grow Good Fruit! (Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time)

Why these music videos exist

The children's Mass asks a real question: how do we translate the mysteries of the faith into a language that meets a child's wonder? These songs are not a full curriculum. They are a help for the classroom.

  • A creative spark. Melody and pictures catch a child's attention before the lesson even begins.

  • A discussion springboard. Catechists get a shared experience they can use to start a deeper conversation.

  • A support tool. Ready-made songs lighten the load for volunteers who already love the children they teach.

  • More than the Sunday Gospel. Some videos are not a homily at all. They are extra catechetical tools — saints, prayers, and lessons — made for young hearts.
