What We Do

"Lighten Up!" Parish/School/Diocesan Family Celebrations

What is the typical format of a “Lighten Up!” Whole-Community Celebration?

TWO-NIGHT SERIES… brings a fresh approach to parish missions and renewals! (6:47-8:27pm)

How can we use “Lighten Up!” in our particular church community?

Why is “Lighten Up!” so unique? Because it…

Follows the Church’s call for evangelization and the promotion of the sanctity of marriage and family.
Utilizes creative ways to teach and foster important issues regarding faith and family.
Inspires, rejuvenates, and enhances ongoing church programs and ministries.
Addresses, literally, hundreds of issues relevant to today’s believers.
Provides an opportunity for staff and volunteers to be “fed” themselves.
Welcomes people who have been away from the Church, as well as guests who have never had a church community, and those of other faiths to attend the event.
Utilizes a true “time and talent” effort as a variety of members of a community work together as a planning team to share their time and talents as they together plan, market, and tend to the various details of the “celebration.”
Demonstrates how laughter and learning can go hand in hand.

How about the planning and marketing for the “Lighten Up!” event?
