Youth Group Takes a Break
During the Lenten season the Youth Group has been busy. Now it is time to focus on our relationship with God. Because of this the youth group will be taking a two week break. During this time we strongly urge each and every member to attend the penance service of your choice. The church has made this very accommodating by offering services at Sorrowful Mother on March 16 and St. Cecelia's on March 17. Both services start at 7pm.
This youth group was created to give the youth an opportunity to be part of a group that is really part of something much bigger. The youth should represent what the church means. Helping others, listening to God and also living God's Word. So for the last few weeks before Easter we will be focusing on just that.
Our next meeting will be April 1 at 6:30pm. We have plenty of snacks and drinks so just come and share in the experience.

Lent - A time to Prepare
This is a time that we need to really look at ourselves and our relationship with God. Take time to not only work on this but understand that what we have on this earth will not matter unless we are following God's will. Our time here on earth is nothing compared to our eternal reward.
Some suggested Lenten activities: pray the rosary, pray more throughout the day, help others pray, turn off the TV and cell phones and work on relationships.

I promise! I will be there!
We, as a group, have been focusing on helping our church, going to Mass and looking for ways that we can help others. So this one time we took the opportunity to celebrate "fun" and went bowling. What I noticed was a group of "young adults" that represented our church well. In fact EVERYONE who attends the group meetings was in attendance.
We still have to decided the schedule for the next few meetings so I am looking for ideas. One possibility is to go around town for a food drive to collect canned goods. It will all depend on the weather. Because of these economic times, we need to help those in need. In any case we will meet at church and decide from there.
We will be getting things ready for the Easter Egg Hunt. This will be happening after the 8am mass. At 9:30 on the church grounds. The eggs are already purchased we just need donations of bags of candy to fill the eggs.
God Bless.
