Our theme for the 2006-2007 school year is:
RALLY
Every year the Office of Youth Ministry sponsors the
Rally as our largest outreach event! This event is a celebration
of our faith and love of the Lord. This year we are planning
for hundreds of youth to gather for 8 hours of music, inspirational
speakers, fellowship and Sunday Mass! The Rally
is designed to be open to any high school aged youth wanting
to attend;
welcoming them
and inviting them to participate in the life of the Catholic
Church. Invite your friends!
POSTERS, DVD PROMO & WORKSHOP OUTLINE WILL BE MAILED TO ALL PARISHES BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15TH!
