- Invite to class or visit some of the oldest people in your parish. Ask these elders to tell you about the history of the parish, especially about some of the holy people who made a crucial difference in your community.
- Compare your parish community to the human body. Who is the head? Who thinks, speaks, and leads others in your parish and school community? Who are the hands in your parish or high school? Who reaches out to others? Who are the eyes with vision? Who imagines new solutions to problems? Who are the feet? Who makes things happen?
- Who among the living or dead is a mentor to you?
- Research your patron saint. What does he or she stand for? Pray at Mass for your loved ones who have died. Visit cemeteries.
