November 26-27 Check-in is between 7pm and 9pm in the lower hall and the lock-in ends at 9am Sunday morning. No one will be allowed in after 9PM. What is a lock-in? Basically, we hang out in the Parish Hall and stay up all night and eat snacks, talk, drink soda, play Playstation, jump on the indoor moonwalk, and watch movies all night long with friends. Don’t plan to get much sleep though. Ok-Don’t freak out- we will have quiet time for those teens that would like to get some sleep.

We take this time to bless, celebrate and acknowledge all that come forward to "Do this in memory of Me" and follow His command to be a community of evangelization. We are all charged with being a people who gather to do Eucharist (Thanksgiving) in the communion of saints who have gone before us, the saints with whom we live, we prepare for the saints yet to come. "We remember, we celebrate, we believe" (Marty Haugen 1983 GIA). This is our mission as religious educators. It is Good News. Proclaim it. Celebrate. We are beyond grateful for all who come and answer HIS call.

Saturday, 11/26, 5:00-8:00 pm "I am sending my messenger to get the way ready for you. In the desert someone is shouting, 'Get the road ready for the Lord! Make a straight path for him.' " (Mark 1:1-8) Please join us as we prepare for this wonderful Advent Season. Come to this special night for the blessing and lighting of the Nativity, followed by a Pizza & Family Craft Social.
