As you page through this month’s Holy Week Activities packet, you’ll notice lots of fun activities to decorate your house or feed your guests, but we challenge you to look at the same pages as suggestions for evangelization.

If you’re planning to spend Easter with family or friends, be sure to do all you can to keep the focus on the true meaning of Easter.  For example, your kids can use the information on pages 2-5 to make decorations for your (or Grandma’s) Easter table.  Relatives who may never be interested in hearing about your Faith, might gladly listen to your children describe the details of their artwork.

Are you giving Easter baskets or having an Easter egg hunt?  There are two ideas in the packet with ways you can make these traditions about more than candy and eggs.

Would you like to give your guests a simple gift?  A small bag of jelly beans with the prayer on page 15 attached would be a great table favor.

And most important – even the least committed Catholics are likely to attend Mass on Easter Sunday.  Be sure to invite someone to go to Mass with you!  This is a great time to be a bold witness for Christ!
