PARENT MEETING
We will have a parent meeting on Sunday 8/26 after the 5:30 Mass (~6:30 pm) in Christ the Good Shepherd Chapel. This meeting will provide information about what the youth group year is going to look like. This meeting is for parents who want to register youth in Journey and/or Ignite. We will discuss dates for the year and Confirmation information.
IGNITE
Last Week (8/12): Our Middle School had fun at our last summer youth night! We look forward to our youth night kick-off on 9/9 and ask for prayers for all our youth as they start the next school year.
This Week (SUNDAY 8/19): No Youth Night
Ignite nights are safe and fun places for 6th-8th grade youth to grow in their faith. This semester, we will be looking into the covenants, the promises that God has made with His people, and how He continues to keep these promises today. We meet in the St. Joseph's Secondary Gym on Sunday nights after the 5:30 Mass and end at 8:30 pm. We start the youth nights with dinner and social time, and then enter into games, talks, skits, small group, and other activities. Please join us. We would love to have you!
