Pictures A to Z
Grab a camera and head out to photograph something around your town (or around your home or neighborhood) that starts with each letter of the alphabet: A for an apple orchard, B for a basketball hoop, and so on. To make it extra fun, form teams and use old-fashioned, disposable film cameras and get them developed at the end of the day. Compare pictures and have fun. Go out for ice cream to celebrate your accomplishment!

"defile" them. These things enter our minds and hearts and leave
little room for the things of God. This week get rid of the "garbage"
in your life. Write on a piece of paper any mean or bad things that you hold in
your heart. Get a garbage bag and invite each family member to put their
garbage in the bag. Go to the sacrament of Reconciliation as a family to
receive absolution and forgiveness for any offenses against God.
