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.
will kick off on Sunday, September 11th at 6:00 p.m. All 6th through 12 grade teens are encouraged and invited to check it out. This Mass will be teen-focused but it is not limited to just teenagers. People of all ages can attend a teen Mass. The music, homilies and environment are planned for the teens and their families, but the energy, reverence, and prayerfulness that teens bring to the celebration is contagious! Come see!
