Additional Possibilities:

• Preaching a short homily at a daily Mass during the mission days.
  
• For parishes with schools presentations for various grades during the school day.
  
• Michelle Goodwin can be available to lead one hour of faith sharing during the mission days and Fr. Ed can be available for the sacrament of Reconciliation. This hour can be scheduled anytime but usually works best after a daily Mass.

Parish Responsibilities:

• Cover the travel and hospitality expenses for the mission.
  
• Prepare for and advertise for the mission. A Parish mission manual will be sent to the parish to be used in the planning of the mission.
  

Costs:

• Transportation costs for Fr. Ed and Michelle plus hospitality during the mission. We are open to staying in the rectory or people's homes as well as hotels.
  
• A Freewill offering will be taken up on the last night of the mission.
