Life, Love and Lattes!
This is a 6-week series leading up to Easter about “The Theology of the Body”. Have you ever wondered what the meaning of life is? How do we know God through our bodies? Are men and women different spiritually? Perhaps you've heard the chastity talks, perhaps you've been told how NOT to live, but have never been told HOW to live a life of grace and holiness? If you've asked any of these questions, then this series is for you! Come find out what you were made for! Meets 6:30-8:00pm Sunday nights
(February 7, 14, 21, 28; March 6, 13, & 20)
Sign up in the narthex and join one of our 7-week Lenten small groups:
HS Boy’s Apologetics: A small group designed for high school boys who want to learn about and defend their faith. Wednesdays 8:00-9:00pm.
HS Girl’s Apologetics: A small group designed for high school girls who want to learn more about their faith, how to defend it, while growing in prayer and fellowship. Wednesdays 7:30-9:00pm.
HS Girl’s “The Screwtape Letters”: Come join the correspondence between two demons and their devious ways to enter a man’s thoughts and try to
influence him. Sundays 4:30-6:00pm. MS Girl's “Sinners to Saints and Everything in Between”: Come learn about the sinners who fell in
love with God and became the greatest saints this world has ever seen! Tuesdays 6:30-8:00pm.
6-12th grade “33 Days to Morning Glory”: Have you ever wondered what’s so special about Mary? Why do we honor her and pray to her so much? What does it mean to entrust yourself to Jesus through Mary? This 6-week small group series begins February 29th and meets Mondays from 7:00-8:30pm.
Upcoming Events:
⇒ January 24: We'll be serving lunch at the Guadalupe Center! See bulletin board or website for forms due by January 20th.
⇒ February 19: Each year our teens put on a living stations of the cross for our Parish. We need volunteers!! Please contact Olivia to participate.
⇒ February 27: We are helping out with the Special Olympics in Greeley again this year! It's a great opportunity for students and parents to serve together!
Do you love Christ and His Church? Are you interested in leading youth closer to Christ? We are always looking for more leaders in our youth program! If interested, please contact Olivia.

High School and Middle School Students
Did you know . . . because of its sensitive nature, the topic of suicide has myths about it that may actually hinder teens from dealing with suicidal individuals in a helpful manner? One of the most common myths is — “talking about suicide with a teen in crisis will give them ideas or encourage them to actually commit suicide.” Instead of MS Youth Group, High School and Middle School students please join us to hear guest speaker, Dr. Weston Finch Ph.D. from Regina Caeli Clinical Services.
Sun, Jan 31 5:00-6:00 pm
in the OLV Hall
He will be speaking about Suicide Prevention and Awareness. In addition, Dr. Finch will be offering our students skills to help any of their friends who may suffer with suicidal thoughts and how to process the information when they hear of a peer or family member who has tried to commit suicide. Bring a friend! Stay for dinner at 6:00 pm. HS Youth Group will stay until 7:00 p.m.
Poinsettias
“Thank you to all parishioners
who purchased poinsettias to
help decorate and beautify the
sanctuary this Christmas.” Please
feel free to take home a plant
after Mass this weekend!
Also, “Thank you to all youth group and
confirmation families that assisted with and caring
for our poinsettias during this Christmas season.”
THE KNIGHTS CORNER
Jan 31: This is the 5th Sunday of the month. We will be saying a Rosary after the 10:00 Mass. This is to protect the unborn children, seek help for those Christians who are being persecuted, and request help for those who need it. All are invited to pray with us.
