DON'T FORGET GOD!
Incorporating your Catholic faith into your vacation plans can be easy and rewarding,
as well as a wonderful way to make sure your children know that God is part of
everything we do. Here are three easy ideas for a summer with the faith.

1.  The obligation to celebrate Mass does not take a vacation.
Of course, Catholics should always attend Mass on Sundays, even when out of town. If you are on the
road, check out the times and places for Mass at www.masstimes.org. Just enter
the city or zip codes and all the churches in the area will pop up.
You can even get a map and driving directions.

2.  Don't forget to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Begin each day with prayer. Before you head out to the day's activities ask for
God's blessing and protection on the day. At night thank Him for the time you've shared together
.
3. Visit one of the historical religious sites in the area you are visiting.
