On Good Friday and Holy Saturday, Teams of Missionaries (or Families) will go door to door in the local neighborhood to personally invite every home to join in the whole Paschal Triduum and Easter celebrations. They pass out flyers with dates and time for services. They take down any prayer intentions and gather any requests for things like communion to the sick. If they are invited to do so, the missionaries can answer any questions about the faith that persons in the home may have.
