Youth activities for April
Dear Youth in Christ, Let us turn to the cross and resurrection of love as we enter into the sacred season of Easter. It is here that we receive life and respond to the ultimate act of selflessness. As a youth it is often difficult to understand your call to response, but the opportunity awaits you as you join us this month in celebrating a special time of rebirth. Our month begins with the Triduum (April 1-3) where our candidates and elect are called forth to join our Church family in a deeper way through the process of Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. We are so proud of all who have chosen this process, especially our young people; Chelsea and Andrew Geis and Jayce Huling. Please pray for them, and a special invitation goes out to you to join them on this sacred 3-day journey of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Saturday Easter Vigil. Please note that we will not have any youth events during Spring Break. This is a great time for you to enjoy some time with your family and friends. On Monday, April 12th the Confirmation youth will be doing their assigned interviews from 3:30-7:00 p.m. Please arrive on time.
