Can you hear it? Can you hear the excitement of the approaching summer vacation? The anticipation is almost palpable. With summer vacation comes great opportunities for the family to grow in relationship with each other, and to grow in faith! 
Some ideas for the family this summer include:
- Cook/bake together.
- Do projects around the house together.
- Go on a hike and talk about how God has given us this beautiful creation to enjoy but also the responsibility to take care of it.
- Go on a pilgrimage. Visit a cathedral or a holy shrine i.e. St. Kateri Shrine
- Go to daily mass.
- Go to mass on vacation. This helps teach kids that no matter where we go there is a catholic church nearby. See link suggestion below.
- Try a new prayer experience i.e. adoration, the rosary, chaplet of divine mercy.
The most important thing we can do for our kids is give them undivided time and attention, and model/practice with them a life of faith. Check out the many articles and suggestions found on the Loyola Press website.
I’m praying that you and your family have a safe, and holy summer vacation!
This Sunday! Please consider participating in St. Mary’s Corpus Christi Procession on June 3. Procession st
arts at 2pm at Tyburn Academy and moves to St. Mary’s Church! Celebrate Jesus in His amazing gift in the Eucharist!

Everyone should have received the new BREAKTHROUGH Faith Formation handbook as well as registration form. If not please contact the office. Please be sure to take your time when reading through the materials. We offer many options, and because of that things can be confusing with the amount of information. We tried our best to make the handbook as user friendly as possible. Suggestions on how to make communications clearer in the future are welcome.
Deadline for regular registration is Wednesday August 15. After August 15th there will be a $5 late fee added to the registration fee.

Technology and Faith
OFFICIAL APP OF MASSTIMES.ORG!
The purpose of the Mass Times ministry is to help Catholics get to Mass by helping them find churches and worship times worldwide. We do this by hosting and sharing the most comprehensive database of Catholic churches and worship times in existence. Dioceses, parishes, and many volunteers help us keep the database current. We also host the masstimes.org website that our visitors use to search for Mass times.
