April's Parish-wide Activity

Loving your neighbor!

Timeframe: April 10th through April 30th

Whole Parish Activity: Parishioners are invited to take a gift bag to give to a neighbor, elderly friend or a friend in need. They can use this as an opportunity to say, “You are loved”, “Thank you for being a good friend,” or “Thinking of you.” Parishioners can write a note on the back of the scripture card expressing their thoughts and prayers as well.

Parishioners have the option to take home a “Do It Yourself” gift bag that includes instructions, scripture tag, along with ribbon and tie.

OR

A parishioner can choose to take a gift bag that includes a gourmet muffin already wrapped with a scripture tag.



Elementary-aged Students: Religious Education students are invited to take a gift bag to give to a friend, neighbor, elderly friend or relative, or a friend in need. Students can use this as an opportunity to say, “You are loved,” “Thank you for being a good friend,” or “Thinking of you.”



Middle- and High School-aged Students: Religious Education and Life Teen students can write a note to a friend, neighbor or teacher.



A poster will be provided for students to take a picture with and post on their social media accounts using the hash tag #LoveYourNeighbors.
