Youth Ministry Update
Perhaps what we need now, more than anything else, is hope. Each day, we will be sending out a "Daily Dose of Hope" to your inbox- short reflections on this important virtue from saints and fellow parishioners as well as practical steps for living in hope. Click here to sign up!
In this unprecedented time, please know that we are praying for you and your loved ones, and we are here to support you. While our regular youth ministry meetings are cancelled, our focus will be on providing students and families resources to have meaningful conversations and grow in your faith. Below you'll find some experiences for this weekend. Here's some ideas on how to use the resources we'll be sharing.
