Our Catholic homeschool group gets together once a month to celebrate First Friday Mass and has an activity aferwards. The activity varies, but we try to keep it free, easy & of wide appeal. Some months the activities are the same year to year.- June is a highschool graduation ceremony & party.
- July & August is just a park day after Mass - bring your own picnic.
- September is some sort of Field Day activities, although last year, it worked out better to do this the following Saturday when the Dads could participate.
- November is usually an All Saints party.
- December has been an Advent play.
- January is caroling at a Catholic nursing home (other places think you're crazy to sing Christmas Carols on January 4th).
- We usually book a rollerskating rink for a winter month.
- A local homeschool family opens their gymnastics' facilities to us once a year.

In May, the First Communicants crown Mary, every child has an opportunity to bring her flowers, and this year we did a sidewalk chalk rosary. Sometimes, there are miscommunications, so not very many people stayed...but the girls were dedicated - the boys mostly wrestled in the parkinglot after each doing their own cross or some religous symbol in chalk. The girls' huge creation says "Pray the Rosary."
