  • Creative Activity Centers for Your VBS by Kathy Carlisle
    As your team begins to gather registrations for your VBS, it is time to consider how best to structure each day's activities
  • Hi-Yo, Silver, Away! by Cullen Schippe
    A catechist is passionate about community. To be a follower of Christ means to join with other people in a relationship—a family relationship that is the sign to the world of identification with Christ. “By this will people know that you are my disciples, that you have love for one another” (John 13:35).
  • Craft Clip: Household Cardboard by Jeanne Heiberg
    Use those many empty product boxes for various crafts.
  • We Are the Body of Christ by Judith Costello
    As the Body of Christ, we are called to be Jesus' hands in the world. We fulfill this mission when we work together and spread his love.To make this message into a visual activity for a large group of active boys and girls, I created a game. But first we discussed the message.
  • The Call of Mission, Our Response by Genevieve L. Mougey, M.Div.
    Stop using the terms service projects and service hours. Rather, call such experiences mission projects. As young people become more familiar with the term, they are more likely to integrate mission into their daily lives and thus be aware of how mission is an ongoing aspect of their Christian identity.

  • Guiding Lights: Principles of Discernment by Rev. James Schimelpfening, SM
    "When you hold a sacred text in your hands, and ponder its wisdom, it is not enough to learn the meaning of the words alone. A sacred text is like the flame of a candle."
  • Dealing with the Difficult by Marlene Sweeney
  • Teaching beyond Borders by John Blazo, M.M.
    Educating children to cross-cultural mission not only expands the world for them but also may be a way for the children to evangelize the adult parish community! That’s mission education at its best.
