Summer Time is Here!
We are so excited to kick off our summer with many different fun activities targeted towards the youth of our parish (Incoming Freshman and older). These activities are highly encouraged for teens to participate in especially if they haven't started Confirmation One as a way to meet other classmates and get to know Hannah & Father Piega. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions!
Please read the whole email as there are a lot of different options for the youth this summer and we'd hate for you to miss out!

Holy Hikes
We can pray perfectly when we are out in the mountains or on a lake and we feel at one with nature. Nature speaks for us or rather speaks to us. We pray perfectly.
St. Teresa of Calcutta once said that “The fruit of silence is prayer.” Silence can help us listen to God’s voice in our lives and hear Him speaking to us through contemplation. This is why hiking is the perfect time to turn to prayer. Leave the headphones at home and embrace the silence you find while hiking -- hearing only the breeze rustling the trees and birds chirping as you walk -- and you’ll find it’s easy to let this silence take you to a place of active prayer.
Join us on two different Saturdays this summer to pray together, grow in fellowship, and get fit on Holy Hikes. Father Piega, Hannah, and visiting seminarians are gearing up to take the youth into nature and find some peace from our busy world to pray. Registration is online at https://stpatrickhutto.org/high-school-spy.
See the schedule below
- June 19th: We will begin with mass at 8:30 before heading to Lake Georgetown for our hike. Please bring your permission slips, closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, a hat, water, and a sack lunch. We will be back at the church by 1 PM.
- July 3rd: The youth addition of our Mission Week is another hike! We will be hiking with the four visiting seminarians as they lead us through peace and prayer. Location TBD. We will start at 8:30 AM with mass before heading out for our hike. At 2 PM, we will proceed to a parishioner's house for a pool party and burgers. We will be back no later than 6:30 PM. Please bring permission slips, closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, a hat, water, towel, swimsuit, a change of clothes, and your sack lunch.
Steubenville Live: July 9-11
More than ever, you, as teens experience busyness, confusion, and anxiety. Our hope is that you can be restored to greater peace and joy as a fruit of your encounter with Jesus. We want you to understand God’s original plan and what you are being RESTORED to a relationship with him and freedom. God wants to restore you to the person he created you to be.
