Publishers and ministries are offering free online resources from prayers and music to children’s coloring pages to help Catholics celebrating Holy Week at home this year, due to stay-at-home orders and other restrictions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Here are a few:

— Liturgical Press in Collegeville, Minn., which has
produced a free guide called “Holy Week at Home,” that adapts Holy Week rituals
for family and household prayer.
