| November
events for Tri-Parish Youth
November is a time to reflect on the blessings in our life and to see with a new mind and heart the gifts we’ve been given. It’s a time to slow down and see beyond ourselves to appreciate all that is in front of us, our family, our friends, our neighbors and maybe even those we don’t know. As a youth group we will be giving, praying, feasting, sharing, discussing, and learning as we grow in thankfulness for each other and the world around us! We will begin the month with an hour adoration at St. Mary’s at 10:00 p.m. on Friday Nov. 2nd.. Please consider taking some time with Lord to show your love and appreciation for all He has done for you. Adoration is a perfect way to slow your life down and be present to the God who loves you, forgives you and is with you in everything you do. You will be surprised at how different you feel when you spend quality time with Him! Our Confirmation group will meet on Nov. 4th at the CEC fat 11:30 for Confirmation class.
