Youth Group and Confirmation Class

There is a meeting Sunday, November 20 at 5:30pm until 7:30pm. Everyone who attended last meeting was given a saint and had to get a few facts about that saint. Everyone pick saints that show interest to them. (Example: the patron saint of knee injuries is St. Roch.)
