Along with the comic, you’ll find “Table Talk”, a terrific conversation starter to share with your children.

Gracieland Table Talk for “Lost and Found Department”

We would like to encourage you to share a family meal and Gracieland together. Each week we will be posting some discussion starters that you can share with your family. Share the webstrip with your kids, grab a plate, pull up a chair, and talk.

Ask your child:

Who is your patron saint?  What do you know about him/her?

Explain that everyone can have a saint/s that they look up to and that help them understand Christ. Explain that saints can be the “go between” for us and Jesus.  They can ask Him to help us.

How can saints be helpful to us?

What saint would you like to learn more about?

What can you say next time you lose something?
