Families can find tips and advice for reading the Gospel as a family, fun activities, crafts, recipes and more at 52Sundays.com. Over the past three years, interest in the tool has grown, including from families outside southeast Michigan, Stenger said. As a result, the archdiocese has decided to release 52 Sundays 2023 exclusively online — and free of cost.  
In addition, a new podcast — called "Beyond Sunday" — will accompany this year's guide to help families make the most of the resource. 52 Sundays 2023, available in both English and Spanish, will still provide the same weekly activities for families, Stenger said. Families have always been able to use as much or as little of the content as they wanted, but now families can easily pick and choose which activities are a good fit at the click of a button. Furthermore, if families preferred a physical copy, they are still given the option to print content to use together, Stenger said. The "Beyond Sunday" podcast will be hosted by Nicole Joyce, associate director of family ministry for the Archdiocese of Detroit, and Rakhi McCormick, mission and outreach director for Guardian Angels Parish and school in Clawson. New episodes will be released on Tuesdays, looking ahead to the following Sunday. Joyce and McCormick, both mothers, described themselves as real people “working in the field” — which is to say, their own families. In each 20-minute unscripted episode, Joyce and McCormick acknowledge the challenges faced by real families and offer encouragement wherever each family is on their journey.
