Dear young adults,

Blessed Holy Week to you!

I pray that all of you take the opportunity to enter deeply into the mystery of this holiest of weeks in the life of our Catholic Christian faith as we walk with Jesus in His Passion, death, and resurrection.  I challenge all of you to attend and participate in the liturgies of the Triduum: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil.  

God has much grace and blessing for each of us and our candidates and Catechumens entering the fullness of faith this weekend. Let's pray for each other, for those entering the faith, and for those who may come back for Easter.  Come Holy Spirit and draw all of us to deeper faith and life in the Church!

As with my usual emails, here's some of the upcoming events in the diocese (and neighboring diocese) for young adults.

Holy Thursday evening- Young Adults are Visiting to 7 Churches 

E. Lansing/Lansing Young Adults, St John Student Center's Grad/Young Professional's group, plans to begin a pilgrimage with 7pm Mass at St. John's Student  center in E. Lansing, pilgrimage by foot to St. Thomas for the procession, then carpool to other churches in the area for the other 5 visits to Jesus. 

If you haven't been on an Ignatian retreat before, I highly suggest joining us to learn the rules of discernment of spirits.  The rules help you learn how to better hear the voice of the Lord and the counter voices of the enemy, but the rules also helps you to hear God's will in decision-making for your life.  Here's the link to register. 

Este retiro es gratuito para los jóvenes Hispanos Adultos de nuestra Diócesis, y es una excelente oportunidad   para formarse como líderes en sus parroquias y conocer jóvenes adultos de las demás Diócesis participantes. 

Para inscribirte envía un correo a Susana Chapa (Directora del Ministerio Hispano de la Diócesis de Lansing) a: schapa@dioceseoflansing.org
