Youth Ministry

February Youth Night: Red Zone/Green Zone
Discussion of "Why I Love God But Hate Religion" Video

With Valentine's Day around the corner, it must be time for our most attended (and awkward) Youth Night: Red Zone/Green Zone.  For those of you who have never been you are in for a treat! For those of you who have been before, we are going to change things up quite a bit this year. In fact, we will even have a guest speaker.

We will also (finally) address the famous "Why I Love God but Hate Religion" video that's been around for a few weeks now. Many of you have been asking for this discussion and we're happy to give it to you.

Lastly, we will review our summer plans which will include a summer trip plus Steubenville. So, we will see you this Saturday night following 5:00 Youth Mass at the Ciarrocchi's. At this month's Youth Mass, we have a few extra treats. First, the Teen Choir will be singing. Also, several youths will be speaking about Youth Ministry. 

Please RSVP ASAP by inbox, email or call/text 501-9258. You guys did SO well with RSVPing early last time and we'd LOVE you to repeat it again. 


Let's Go!

I have outlined those teams below and the tasks that will be assigned to each.
