Catholic Sprouts, The Virtues for Catholic Youth

The Virtues for Catholic Youth is a 12-week virtues study, designed to be used by Catholic children in grades 3-8. The study will be most effective if each child works through the study, week by week, with a parent. Over the course of 12 weeks, youth will explore Humility, Purity, Mortification, Gratitude, Faith, Generosity, Love, Forgiveness, Hope and Zeal for the Mission. Each week begins with a look at a common vice, such as pride, lust, gluttony or envy. Next, we explore God’s antidote to this vice: the corresponding virtue. The following day of the study unpacks this virtue further by discussing a saint that exemplified it.
