Journey with Jesus This Lent

Lent is the perfect time to gather as a family around Scripture. Allow The Jesus Tree According to Matthew, to lead you on a journey this Lent as we follow our savior to the cross and into life.

Matthew or John?

Catholic Sprouts offers two versions of the Jesus Tree, one according to Matthew and one according to John. Although BOTH are great for families, we suggest that families with younger children use the Jesus Tree According to Matthew. Families with older children (First Holy Communion age or older) are ready for the Jesus Tree according to John.
