God is good .... All the Time!
On Sunday September 16th, we gathered together for a youth group pot luck dinner. We are blessed to have such a great group. Thank you everyone who attended and for those who brought food. A special thank you for Joe and Ginny Misch. They have always been great supporters of the youth group. Thank you to David Tokarz. Your demonstration of how we need to focus was fantastic. Maybe with time the youth group can "master" how to focus.We will start our youth group meetings, Wednesday October 3 at 6:00pm. We will be meeting weekly. I am strongly encouraging that the member attend as many retreats as possible. This is a great way to grow in your relationship with God. I love retreats because it always reminds me of my many blessings and spending time with our God is so fulfilling.
March for Life - please let Judy or Heather know if you are interested in attending the March for Life. This pilgrimage is a great way to live your faith. Watch the blog and the bulletin for details.
Confirmation class - meets Wednesday September 19 at 6pm. Thank you to Robyn Schaetzel and David Myers for teaching this class. God is so good.
God Bless.

Summer is almost over!!!
As we start school again, I start to think..... Where did the summer go? So many times I make these big plans. But before I know it, the time is gone. So I start and think how many times have I done this to God. How many times have I passed up the opportunity to spend more time with Him in prayer thanking Him or praising Him.
Mark your calendar August 23 concert at Church. This is a great time to spend worshiping God with music.
We are starting to prepare for this year's youth group. September 16, at 5pm we would like to have a parent and youth potluck dinner. Current members and youth/parents that are interested in the youth group, are invited to attend. We will use this time for fellowship and to discuss the goals for the next year.
I am looking forward to this year and hope that we will grow even closer to God. God bless.

Summer is almost here!!
Summer is almost here and we are winding down with our youth group. Our last meeting is on May 23 at 6pm. This was an incredible year for our youth group. I am very proud of the many accomplishments that we realized.
We will be going to Great America on June 11. First, we will attend daily Mass at 8:30am in the chapel. After Mass we will head to Six Flag Great America. Since we are going as representation of Sorrowful Mother Church, I am expecting everyone to be on their best behavior. Last time we went the group made me very proud. Keep up the good work.
We are in need of drivers. Families are invited to attend. However, friends are not allow to come unless the parent of the youth group member is attending. I anticipate that we will be leaving the park around 8:30pm and returning approx 10:30pm.
June 8 - 5-7pm We are having our Schwan Fundraiser to help raise funds for our Great America trip. Please plan on attending to be able to personally thank everyone that has supported us.
The server Indiana Beach trip date has changed. Watch the bulletin for details.
One last reminder.... Just because we are taking a break for the summer, doesn't mean we take a break from Sunday Mass. GO TO CHURCH. Remember...

He has risen! He has risen indeed!
During this Easter season, I would like to thank those that participated in the Seder Meal. I have received many compliments about how the youth group did an outstanding job and especially how they "got into it" by wearing the costumes. Fantastic job!!
Since we have worked so hard (and because of the rummage sale). We will take a much needed break.... Our next meeting is May 2 at 6:00pm. If the weather is nice, I would really like to spend some time as a group outside. So dress appropriately.
As a reminder....the youth should not text the leaders. Please check this blog or our weekly church bulletin for information.
Mark your calendars:
May 19 - Car Wash (weather permitting) Date is subject to change
June 26 - The servers get to go to Indiana Beach
Places we still have to go or do: Chicago, Progressive Dinner, Youth Group Picnic.
God Bless.
