Hello everyone!
This Sunday at YM, we'll be exploring the Sacraments of Service: Holy Matrimony and Holy Orders. We'll use this discussion to learn about what a vocation is and how it is different from a person's job or career. We'll also talk about how to go about discerning God's will in our life. :)
Don't forget that we will not meet NEXT Sunday nor the following Sunday after that (February 12 and 19) due to Super Bowl Sunday and the three-day weekend in the MPS schedule. We'll come back for more fun on February 26!

Treasure Box Activity
The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a true jewel in our treasure box of faith, but one few of us ever encounter. The Catechism is a comprehensive look at what we believe as Catholics as compiled over centuries of prayer and study of Sacred Scripture and the traditions passed on from the apostles and earliest followers of Jesus. It is divided into 4 sections: The Creed, Liturgical Life and Sacraments, Moral Living and Prayer. It is intended as a guide for teaching the faith, but it has value for all of us. Under the direction of Pope Benedict a version called the Youcat was created; an easy to read version for youth to study on their own so that they can have a more complete understanding of what it truly means to be Catholic. If you haven't checked out the Youcat yet, I would highly recommend it! It's my go-to resource for answering questions about our faith. :)
