Rev. Sr. Rini Chacko MSMHC
Kairos Buds is a channel of blessing to the family, especially young minds, inculcating love for Jesus and strengthening them in the Catholic faith.
It is a wonderful catechetical tool for the children to grow in love of Jesus through prayers, Bible verses, creatively expressing of their talents through colorful painting, reading stories, etc.
I found it extremely valuable and I am sure it will be equally valuable for parents and guardians of children in guiding them on the right way.
His Excellency Thomas Dabre, Bishop of Pune Diocese, India
I have always regarded Jesus Youth, as a special gift to the Church. I am deeply impressed by their love of Jesus. They also have an inspiring sense of being on mission. I wish to congratulate them for the good work that they have been doing for the children of 4-12 years age group, called Kairos Buds. The foundations for a meaningful life in the future are laid in early childhood. If we want the Church of the future to be fired with zeal, for the mission of Jesus, then we must pay special attention to our children. And that is what the Jesus Youth have been doing.

I was introduced to Kairos Buds by my sister who gifted the magazine to my kids. They are 5 and 6-years-old. Although they are not old enough to read well, they were very interested in looking at the pictures and doing the crafts in the magazine. The content is very informative and has good articles from kids around the world. It has good pieces for parents too.
Kairos Buds is a very good faith magazine for kids and I can see that it will be very helpful in faith formation in children during the times that we live in now.
I appreciate all those involved in and taking an effort to ensure our children are brought up in the Catholic faith.

Kairos Buds is an amazing magazine to inculcate the Catholic faith in children. With its picturesque cartoons on the Bible, lives of the saints and related articles, children are thrilled. Really good to find kids keeping themselves busy with the puzzles, cryptogram and art pages. Such an effective tool is Kairos Buds!
