April 22 & 23 will be the last class of this year.

As we say goodbye to this year's faith formation classes, we wanted to express our sincere gratitude for your partnership in your child's formation this year. It's been a pleasure watching them grow and learn, and we are so grateful for your support in helping your child's faith in Jesus grow.

Here are a few ideas help you live your Catholic faith together all summer: Attend Sunday Mass

• Visit an Adoration Chapel

• Make sack lunches for a local soup kitchen or homeless ministry

• Do yard work for an elderly neighbor

• Make a pilgrimage to your Cathedral (or a nearby basilica or pilgrimage site)

• Pick wildflowers, write a card, and take them to a homebound parishioner

• Make a meal for someone in your parish who is sick or just had a baby

• Invite friends over for a backyard barbeque and family rosary

• Go through your clothing and toys and share with a young family or donate to a local charity

• Find area free lending libraries and leave books about saints or the Faith

• Pray the Stations of the Cross outside

• Visit a cemetery and pray for the dead

• Go to Mass and Confession on the First Fridays of the summer

• Stay up late and pray Night Prayer under the stars

• Harvest some of your garden produce for a soup kitchen or to share with someone in need

• Make dinner for your parish priests or invite them to your house

• Host a lemonade stand on behalf of your local pregnancy resource center

• Offer an afternoon or evening of babysitting to a family with young children
