During this year we grew in our faith by Encountering Christ, being Formed as passionate disciples of Christ, and by Serving His mission with our lives. In the Encounter series, we tried out different methods of prayer. In the Form series, we learned about saints who are good role models of Christian discipleship. Finally, in the Serve series, we discovered the common humanity among us all that makes everyone worthy of service.
Tonight...
Was our last night for the spring series! We had fun, we reflected back on the year, and we talked about how to keep involved in our faith life over the summer! We also watched this video of photos from the past year of youth at St. Raphael:At home ask your youth...

- How do you want to form yourself as a Christian this summer?
- How did you serve this year?
- How do you want to serve this summer?

Durante este año, crecimos en nuestra fe encontrando a Cristo, formándonos como discípulos apasionados de Cristo y sirviendo su misión en nuestras vidas. En la serie Encuentro, probamos diferentes métodos de oración. En la serie Form, aprendimos acerca de los santos que son buenos modelos a seguir del discipulado cristiano. Finalmente, en la serie Serve, descubrimos la humanidad común entre todos nosotros que hace que todos sean dignos de servicio.
