Spring is here!
On May 12 we will be going to Sister Kathryn's house to do some yard work. Weeding, picking up sticks, and pine needles will be our focus for this evening. Dress warm....
Unless we have volunteers for the progressive dinner "stations" we will be canceling this event. We need an appetizer, salad, and dessert home to host this event. It is set for this Sunday 12pm - 5pm.
Also, I need to know who wants to go to Great America. We need at least 30 people to get a discount. Everyone is invited. We will need to figure out transportation and have drivers. Only the active youth group member who have helped out with the events will get their tickets paid for. The cost for the ticket is $30. Please let Heather, Judy, Luz or Andrew know right away.
We will be wrapping up in a few week. We also have a car wash set for June 12 from 9am - 12pm. Schedule your time to attend this. This event help support our extra activities.
The youth group leaders will be meeting over the summer to come up with a plan for the 2010-2011 school year. Our hope is to focus on the spiritual side of our faith and attend at least one retreat. However, we are fortunate enough to have several events for our area. Our last meeting is scheduled for May 26. We have had a great year and have been blessed by our congregation's support. During the summer check the blog to see about updates.

He has risen!
This week we will be meeting and taking advantage of the weather being nice. So dress to be outside. Since Sister Kathryn has been in the hospital we may be going down to her house to see if there is any cleanup in the yard that we can do.
Also, we need everyone to bring in a frozen pizza or some type of snack and a two litter of something to drink. This will help ease the financial burden of trying to feed 14 teenagers.
During this time we will also be working on a mission or goal for the youth group. This mission should include works of mercy. How can we help those in need? How can we be better Catholics? What can we do to make this world a better place? How can we fix problem with our social standards? It is clear that we do love God. It shows by us being involved in church and the youth group. But at church it is easier than when we get out into our everyday life. Do you say the rosary, pray or even thank God for everything he has given you?
Since the school year is almost to a close, we will also be working on officer elections and developing bi-laws or standards for the group. This is important for the group so that our faith may blossom.
Have a blessed day.

Alleluia He is Risen!
As we celebrate this Easter Season, we will be enjoying the weather outdoors as much as possible. When we can we will be showing the church our support and help out when we can. However, this meeting we will be having an Easter Egg Hunt for the youth group. Everyone should bring a frozen pizza and a two liter of pop. We will use this for something to eat at the end of the meeting.
Here are dates to put in your calendar now.
June 21 - Great America - Youth group family members are invited. The bigger the group the bigger the discount. I need to know who wants to go by May 19, 2010 at the youth group meeting.

May 26, 2010 - Last meeting for the year. We will resume in the fall. Watch for summer events where we are getting together.
June 12 - Car Wash - 9am - 12pm. We found out that 3 hours was enough time to wear out the adults in the group. We need towels, hoses, sprayer, sponges, soap and buckets.

I am so proud and thankful....
First let me start out by saying thank you to the church and our youth group. We made $937.00 profit at this year's Soup and Salad bar. The youth group once again stepped up to the challenge and did it with flying color. A special thank you to Shannon and Denise. Your help in the kitchen did not go unnoticed. Hopefully you recovered from the dish pan hands you received after washing all the dishes. Be sure to thank the rosary soldality for their help with the desert. (The best part of the meal I think!)
This Saturday 3/6/10 we are planning on visiting St. John the Evangelist Church's Christ Passion stations of the cross. I have always driven past them on Rt 41 but have never stopped. I am looking forward to this. I heard that it is amazing. After our visit we are going to stop by Fred Laud's restaurant for PIZZA! We are charging $5 a person for this to cover the cost of the pizza. We have bigger plans for the money we just made.
April 23 - 25 there is a retreat called the Source and Summit. It is open to high school students only. I really really really want us to go. I will be passing out forms at the meeting. We have the option to stay at St. John to be able to maximize our group's experience and hang out with other youth group members.
Great America - We are going to move the date by one week to June 19. By doing this parents can take advantage of the reading program that offered the free Great America tickets. We are going! I promise!!! Mark your calendars.
See you on Wednesday. God Bless.
