Jesus Christ invites us to return to the source and summit of our faith—his Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist.
Jesus is present, reminding us that he is more powerful than the storm. He desires to heal, renew, and unify the Church and the world.NATIONAL EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL ~ LEARN MORE
I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever;
and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.JOHN 6:51

OUR YOUTH GROUP
NEEDS YOU !!!It isn’t always easy keeping the faith in the teen years! Peer pressure, social media, grade point averages, jobs, dating…. The list of stressors goes on. Now is exactly when our kids need God and their faith community!
Confirmation is just the beginning of their faith journey—not the end! But how do they continue the journey without guidance, good friends and role models?
Please consider being one of those role models!
We meet formally only once a month, but we need help with transportation to field trips, retreats and fun events. The small amount of time needed from our volunteers will be returned in rewards greater than you can imagine!
For more information about what this volunteer post involves, please call Mary Ann Miller at 724-265-4040!
