September Youth Night

We will be kicking off our 2010/2011 Youth Programs following 5:00 Youth Mass by heading to the Hebron Harvest Fair and competing in our annual Scavenger Hunt. We'll break off into teams to see who can most quickly seek out some of the more "unique" attractions at the fair and secure this year's Grand Prize. And, bonus prizes will be awarded as well for those who can solve a few brain teasers, too.

Lastly, we will be having a new contest each Youth Night this year. Anyone who brings a friend to a Youth Night who has never been before will be entered into a drawing for a gift card at the end of the night. So, feel free to bring a friend.

We will be leaving for the fair after 5:00 Youth Mass. If you are interested in joining us, please let us know so we can arrange transportation. Please be aware that you will need to pay for your own admission to the fair as well as any items you wish to purchase when inside. If you are not going to Mass but would like to meet us at the Fair on Saturday night, please let us know and we'll arrange to meet you there.

To RSVP, email ciarrocchim@gmail.com or call/text 501-9258. Hope to see you there!

Give Me Your Eyes

Well, it seems as if another summer vacation is over. It's amazing to think that a few short months ago, we were all wondering where the school year had gone. Now, we're wondering what happened to our summer. As you begin the new school year, we pray that you each feel the love of God and the peace of the Holy Spirit surrounding you.

After taking in feedback from members of the Youth Group all summer, we are excited to announce some upcoming changes to this year's Youth Program:

• In addition to our monthly Youth Nights which follow our 2nd Saturday Youth Masses, we will be adding a second monthly event called "Christ in Action". This event will be focused on reaching out to help those in need. You all have provided some awesome ideas about charities that need our help. And, we intend to use them.
• We will conduct two Bible Study sessions in the Fall (Sept-November) and the Spring (Lent). They will run every other week and focus on two separate themes.
• We will change the location of most youth nights to the Ciarrocchi house instead of the Church unless we need that space or are going somewhere for youth night.
• We have some new youth nights that we are creating for you
• We have two youth members who will be joining the Liturgy Committee. They will take the responsibility of improving our monthly Youth Mass to truly focus more on the needs of high schoolers.
• Several more "surprises" are still being developed which will be announced shortly

• September 11th: Adopt-a-soldier: Help us pack and ship care packages to soldiers stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq
• September 11th: Youth Night: Following the 5:00 Youth Mass, Kickoff our 2010/11 Youth Program with our annual Hebron Harvest Fair Scavenger hunt. See if your team can successfully complete this year's maze of tasks and win first place.
• September 19th: Bible Study
• September 27th: Christ in Action: Hebron Interfaith Human Services Food Drive
