Choose one of the following ways of witnessing faith to others. Explain how you will carry it out.

• Volunteer to help on a weekly basis any parish or community group that serves the poor or promotes peace. Perhaps your parish is involved in works that you are not aware of. You might want to give one of your parish ministers a call to find ways to help, or check your parish bulletin for information.
