COMMUNITYby Rick Goodwin |
 |
|
| During the octave of Easter, gather the whole community
for storytelling, food, and song. Send special invitations to neophytes,
parents of children baptized during the year, candidates received into
full communion, godparents, and sponsors. The pastor and catechists can
encourage storytelling based upon their life's journey. Return at the Pentecost
vigil for a potluck supper. This time, include all those initiated through
the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist during the Easter
season. Encourage all to wear white. During the supper, lead the community
in storytelling focused on praising God. This keeps the song of alleluia
alive. End the festivity with an Easter blessing.
