Lent starts tomorrow!
We have a few new things for you in the update below so make sure you at least skim through the rest of the update.
Note: We will NOT have small groups this Wednesday Feb 17th, instead we encourage you to attend Ash Wednesday Mass as a family.
Most importantly we want to welcome Ayla Todd, our Youth Ministry Intern for the Winter/Spring semester. Be sure to welcome Ayla when you see her. She is a familiar face as she has been a parishioner for the last 15 years and grew up participating in all of our Youth Ministry efforts. It is great to have her around, she’ll be working as a volunteer intern about 18 hours a week through early May! I asked her to introduce herself a little:
I am the new intern for the youth ministry team here at Pax. I am currently a junior at Saint Mary’s in Winona and I am getting my degree in theology with a focus in youth ministry and double majoring in philosophy. After graduation I am hoping to become a missionary for NET over in Ireland.
I have been a member of Pax Christi since I was 6 years old when my family moved here from Abilene TX. I have done a bunch of volunteer work for the church with my family and I have been on numerus camps/trips throughout the years.
I am looking forward to meeting all of you and working with you over the next couple of months!
Peace,
Ayla
