Field Day Table

Many Catholic schools have an annual carnival or field day to build fellowship among the students. This fun-filled event is the perfect opportunity to introduce parents and students to vocations. At the event, a ministry can focus on the interaction between priests, religious, seminarians, and the students through games, such as tug-of-war, arm wrestling, hula-hoop contests, and Vocation Jeopardy. These activities show that priests and religious can be playful and joyful.
