is busy for Tri-Parish Youth
Dear Youth in Christ, All of creation is waiting in great anticipation of all the beauty that Spring holds. We too have this longing inside for a blooming and a becoming, as the season invites us to change and a enter into a new of being. It is in this blossoming that you are invited, especially during this time of lent to be open to a newness through engaging in our March youth activities. The Confirmation class will kick off the month through meeting at the Church during the normal class time, 7:00 p.m. to practice for the “shadow stations”. Please bring your books as we will go through the lesson and then practice the stations. This activity is a great way in engaging in the walk with Christ to the cross and into the hope of the resurrection. Please show up at St. Mary’s Church at 7:00 p.m. instead of the CEC building. On March 2nd all of the youth and adults who will be attending the Idaho Catholic Youth Convention met at the On Mighty Ground Youth room for a short meeting. During the month of March the PFFP will be hosting a Lenten movie night every Wednesday night. I would like to invite all of the youth who normally attend youth group to attend these nights throughout the month of March. It is important for community to gather during this special time of year, so grab your parents, brothers and sisters, friends and neighbors and join us for this great community event hosted by our Prairie Faith Formation Program.

On March 6th the youth and adults will meet at St. Mary’s parking lot to board the bus for ICYC. All of the details for the weekend will be discussed at our meeting on the 2nd.

It is very important for you to know where we are in our journey toward the 2016 mission trip to Haiti. As seeds are planted and watered they blossom and grow. It is the same in our lives. If we step into the places and opportunities that nourish us in our faith we will grow and become all that God calls us to be. We hope to see you this month and please know you are always welcome! In Christ, Debbie |
