Life Night - Lectio Divina

On 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?
