Some good ideas:

  • After you watch 5 episodes, let’s meet!  Then watch another 5, and let’s meet again. And so on.
  • You will need a sponsor – someone who is a practicing Catholic that is not your parent. 
  • Your sponsor will guide you and help you. It is a good idea to watch these videos with your sponsor and talk about them with him or her
  • Please make it a habit to come to Mass each weekend
  • Also — pray!!!!  Daily!!!  Ask Jesus to help you during this process….it’s going to be SWEET!
