events for Tri-Parish Youth
Dear Youth in Christ, This month bring with it the heart of gratitude and thankfulness. It’s a time to step back and appreciate all of the gifts God has given us throughout the year.

Please consider joining us this month as we strive to live out the Gospel in our daily activities.
