Director's Message
Hi Students, Parents, and Youth Ministry Advocates,
I'm only three days late with the July Update! If you haven't yet, all you high school students and interested adults should sign up for Canoeing! Check out the details below! July 9th is coming up fast and we need to know how many are coming!
Other than a bunch of other Summer stuff happening, in this Youth Update you'll find some thoughts about the Catholic Response to Immigration... I'm sure it will inspire discussion around the dinner table and maybe even with friends... more importantly, I hope it inspires action!
Have a safe and restful Independence Day!
Peace,
Zach Rawson

Catholic Response to Immigration
When it comes to immigration lately there is a lot of craziness going on in our political rhetoric and there is a fair amount of craziness that I've seen from Christian's and their response to our immigration laws. Father Mike might be able to calm the waters a little bit and inspire us to engage in meaningful and helpful dialogue, and more importantly into action for our brothers and sisters.For more information about the US Bishops guidance concerning immigration policy I invite you to check out the US Catholic Bishop's webpage HERE.
Also, Bishop Cozzen's, of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, addressed the press at the State Capital back on June 26th. HERE is an article from the Catholic Spirit.
