Lenten Retreat - "I am third"

On March 17th we have gathered to reflect on our mission towards God and one another. During the overnight retreat we have heard powerful witness talks from two of our teens, Chloe and Jeremy, and we learned how to make rosaries. Our guide in making them was Mrs. Elizabeth Smereczynska, the leader of the Rosary Group that is active in our parish. At midnight we head over to Church to adore the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament and to go to confession. Great thanks for all who contributed to organization of this retreat, especially to Mrs. Pam Perez and Mrs. Rebecca Gianelli.

Life Night - Lectio Divina

Last Sunday, February 25th, we explored the ancient way of prayer with Sacred Scriptures called Lectio Divina. We have focused on the Gospel, which was the story of Jesus' Tranfiguration on Mount Tabor. Also we had some fun in playing games and enjoying each others company. Come and join our Youth Group! :)

Life Night - DO SOMETHING!

Our youth group had a great night learning about being disciples of Jesus. We started the evening worshiping together at our Life Teen Mass. Music was led by the awesome Notre Dame Liturgical Ensemble! Our theme "Do Something" encouraged our teens to participate in one of our many parish ministries. And we closed out the evening making cards for kids in the hospital! What an awesome group of young people!

Congratulations!

Our Youth Group at NCYC in Indianapolis

SJB Youth Ministry participated in the premier conference for high school youth - the National Catholic Youth Conference. 25,000 teens from all over the country gathered for this conference "Called By Name". There was Mass and the Eucharist celebrated by Cardinal Cupich on the first day, and the closing Mass by Archbishop Gomez and hundreds of clergy from all over the world! We heard dynamic speakers, reunited with good friends, shared stories of faith, hope, and love, and developed stronger relationships with other parishes! We are Called to Serve...are we ready to say YES?
