We’ve reached the point of summer break where “I’m bored” is likely a common phrase. Here are some ways to stay busy and continue fostering a love of faith as a family.
Do yard work for an elderly neighbor
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
Go through your clothing and toys and 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
Harvest some of your garden produce for a soup kitchen or to share with someone in need
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
Take your grandparents to Mass and breakfast on the feast of Saints Joachim and Anne (July 26th)
Go on a hike and pray the Rosary (inspired by John Paul II and Bl. Pier Giorgio)
