events for Tri-Parish Youth
Dear youth, The month of April is finally upon on which hopefully brings with it the warmth of the sun and the feeling of Spring. We are all so ready for a season of newness. It has truly been a long winter. What is great through is that we are guaranteed the hope of newness, as this month we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, where death is truly conquered and hope is made manifest. What a great promise we have in Jesus! We will begin the month of April with Spring Break and I will be gone for vacation. Please enjoy your time with family and friends. On April 2nd the Haiti team will be selling jewelry after the 8:00 a.m. Mass at St. Anthony’s and the 10:00 a.m. Mass at St. Mary’s. All proceeds will go toward our 2018 mission trip to Haiti. We will also be selling jewelry the following Sunday. These items make great gifts for First Communion, Easter, Mother’s Day, Birthday’s or even for yourself. Thank you for your support. The High School small group will meet on Monday, April 10th at 6:30 for pizza and 7:00 for Catholic Q and A. All High School youth are welcome! On April 12th the Jr. High and High School youth are invited to participate in a “Walking Rosary”. We will meet at the OMG youth room at 6:30 for chicken and jo jos and then go out into the Church parking lot to say the rosary. This is a beautiful way to pray and is a perfect way to celebrate holy week and begin the Triduum. On April 17th the High School peer ministers will meet to plan the High School Scavenger Hunt.
