ATTENTION YOUNG ADULTS AGED 18-39 I am seeking advice and your thoughts as I begin plan-
ning a young adult ministry in the Parish. Too many
post HS and college age adults feel as though the
Church isn’t hearing your concerns nor are we re-
sponding to your spiritual needs. Pope Francis is hold-
ing the next Bishop’s Synod on Youth and Young
Adults to gather similar information to better serve
our younger generation. On Monday, September 11th
at 6:30PM at a location to be determined, all
“millennials” ages 18 – 39 are invited to enjoy free
food and beverages while engaging in a frank discus-
sion about future possibilities. If you plan on attend-
ing, please contact Fr. Dan by September 5th either by
calling the office or emailing [email protected].
St. Vincent de Paul Meeting will be Wednesday, September 6th, at 6:45 PM.
