    • To receive Holy Communion frequently and Sacrament of Penance regularly.
    • To study Catholic teaching to prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation, to be confirmed, and then to continue to study our holy Faith and help others to know about it.
    • To observe the marriage laws of the Church: to give religious training by example and word to one's children; to use parish schools and religious education programs.
    • To strengthen and support the Church: the parish and parish priests; the whole-wide Church and the Holy Father.
