January's Youth Event (Saturday 1/9)

Howdy everyone, and Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a great and blessed Christmas and are ready to start a great year of youth events. As you know, our theme for the year has been, "My Place in this World...hearing God's call." This Saturday night (1/9), we'll be building on that theme.

Following our 5:00 Youth Mass, we'll be meeting downstairs for our youth chat entitled: "Married, Single, or the Religious life?" where we will discuss the different types of callings (also known as "vocations") God has for us. During this talk, we'll learn
  • What are these 3 callings?
  • Why each is so special?
  • How to begin listening to which one God is calling you.

After our chat, and by popular demand, we'll be headed over to South Windsor for Monster Mini Golf. We plan to leave around 7:00 and return around 9:30.

Please RSVP ASAP (no later than Thursday) so we can coordinate transportation to ciarrocchim@sbcglobal.net. We expect the cost to be approximately $12, but we'll let you know for sure once we have a final head count.

Finaly, as a preview, for the month of February (and in honor of Valentine's Day) our topic for our next month's youth chat will be: "Red Zone/Green Zone: Can I really date someone AND be a Christian?" Mark your calendars for Saturday, Feb 13th for a very memorable night!

Hope to see you all this weekend!
