Building a community of young people for Christ
February, 2018
What a month it has been! Our spaghetti dinner at the end of January was a great success and enjoyed by all. A week later we were hard at work practicing the Living Stations of the Cross which will be presented in March.
The weekend after that, a group of 10 of our high schoolers attended the Mount2000 retreat hosted by Mount St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The weekend was transformative and many memories were made. :)
The fun continues...this FRIDAY and SATURDAY we will be creating over 1200 chocolate Easter eggs. This along with the spaghetti dinner are our only two fundraisers for our youth program. Help is needed- see below for details!
God bless!

March Gathering
The next gathering for youth in grades 6-12 will be at the Parish Hall on March 4 from 6-8pm. Join us for dinner, learn what Lectio Divinia is and how to pray it, and join in final rehearsals for our Living Stations of the Cross.
The Living Stations of the Cross will be presented in shadow form, behind a screen, in the church during a regularly scheduled Stations time on March 9th. NO PRIOR ACTING OR SPEAKING EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED! We are excited to present this to the parish for the first time.
