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.)
Also, we are asking that everyone bring some type of snack and 2 litter of pop. Doesn't have to be this Sunday but remember this during the year.
November 23, Thanksgiving Mass. The confirmation class is to attend this Mass. We will be meeting at 6:30pm to prepare.
December 11 is Parent's afternoon out. Everyone is to meet at the church hall by 10:30am. We need to prepare before the children get there.
January 22 - 25 we will be traveling for the March for Life in DC. I need to know who is interested. We will be sleeping at a church. The cost is $120 however the youth group and other donations will reduce this cost. I need to know if you are interested in going by December 19.

Confirmation Class
We are meeting November 3, 2010 at 6:30pm - 8:30pm. Remember your attendance is mandatory. If you miss a class you will have to make arrangements with Father Paternoster. We are looking forward to you growing in your faith over the next several months.
For the 7 that signed up for the retreat this weekend. We will be meeting at church at 8am. This will allow for your family to attend mass as we start our travels toward Indy. I am looking forward to this spiritual experience. We will attend Mass in the evening and should arrive back in Wheatfield by 9:30pm.

And They're Off!
We are off to a good start this year. On November 7, three members of our youth group are attending a retreat. We pray that God touches their hearts during this wonderful experience.
Reminder that we have moved the youth group meetings to Sunday. We meet from 5:30pm - 7:30pm. However, we will not be meeting on November 7. Anyone who walks, rides their bike, skate boards or mopeds to the meeting and is expecting to go home the same way.... NEEDS A NOTE from a parent. No exceptions. With everything that has happened in our community, we want to make sure that everyone gets home safely and parents are OK with you going home in the dark that way.
Last meeting we noticed some behavior that is unacceptable. Failure to follow the rules of the group and our church can and will result in you not being able to attend the meetings or outings. For the confirmation class.... that means that you are jeopardizing your confirmation. This is a great group that has done great things. Let's stay focused.
The purpose of the youth group is to have fellowship with one another and to grow our relationship with God.
We will have an outing on November 6 (The cost is $7.00). We will be meeting at the church at 10:30am and going out to lunch for pizza and then going to the Shrine of Christs Passion in St. John. We should be back at the church by 3:30pm. There is a beautiful gift shop at the Shrine. Bring extra money. Families are welcome. Just let Heather know. We have to make arrangements.
