YouthLeader provides an excellent
opportunity to bring together a cluster of five to eight youth
and one or two youth leaders from your parish for a five day
intensive experience in building leadership skills, and to
do some actual planning for your parish youth ministry or youth
group. Contact Kathy Lawson at the Pastoral Center if you would
be interested in this training opportunity. Youth

G.O.D.
(Gathering of Disciples)
An invitation from G.O.D.
G.O.D., which stands for Gathering Of Disciples,
is a group of high school students who meet together
on Sunday evenings from 6-8pm in the St. Andrew Youth Center. Led
by a team of young adult volunteers, the evenings are full
of faith, fun, and (of course) food. Together, we hang out,
eat dinner, learn a little bit more about our faith, discuss
current issues, and pray. So…
If you like to hang out with friends,
If you like to grow in faith,
If you like to make a difference in the community,
If you like to eat good food,
We invite you to come to G.O.D.!

Every summer we gather jr. high youth from across the Diocese
for a day of fun at NRH20 Family Water Park. Beside all the
fun, we also have a chance to pray together and share faith.
This year we will center activities around a theme through
art, skits and activities, and of course prayer and song. That
is just some of what you can expect at FACES. FACES
site.
Contact Kathy Lawson in the Pastoral Center if you are interested
in attending. We will place more information here on our participation
in the summer so keep coming back to check.
