Youth Ministry Monthly Update- March 16, 2022
Hello Parents and Teens!I pray that you are having a blessed Lent. During the season of Lent, teens are invited to participate in our parish activities. We also offer some teen specific events such as a lenten small group and service opportunities. As we journey towards Easter may we all take time to slow down and recognize God's presence in our life. In April, high school teens will be invited to join our leadership team by coming to an interest meeting. We will be putting together the schedule for the summer and the next school year in May. Please fill out the suggestion form here to let me know what events you are interested in. Parents please consider signing up your teen for the monthly email updates as well so they can hear about the events planned for them directly.
