Want to come on a summer retreat?
For the second time only, renowned Youth Ministry movement Life Teen is hosting the Steubenville NorCal Catholic Youth Conference!
I went last year (photo attached, 'cuz pics or it didn't happen) and I think you guys would get a lot out of it.
The goal of the weekend: "to help ensure that all teens – no matter where they are on their faith journey – have an encounter with the God Who loves them and the Church He loved us enough to begin." We're all for that!!
It's July 27-29 in San Mateo - the cost is $200 plus whatever the hotel ends up being.
Interested? LMK now so we can talk about making it possible!! -
Extra Involvement Opportunities (Confirmation Make-Ups)
Everyone is invited to these extra involvement opportunities - and each also counts as a Confirmation make-up if you follow the instructions (if any) at the end of each listing! Parents, please be aware - on rare occasions, some events are age-specific, so read carefully and use your best judgment in attending.
NB: You're allowed up to 2 absences per year for Confirmation, and you can make up the time with any of these events or others you've spoken to Megan about. Remember - make-ups make up the time you've missed; they don't "cancel out" your absence!
Eucharistic Miracles of the World Exhibition
Photos and information regarding dozens of eucharistic miracles from all over the world will be on display. The presentation takes audiences through the Real Presence in Scripture, and presents examples and scientific data on Eucharistic miracles.
June 9-10, 8:00am-8:00pm
St. Michael Parish, 326 Maple Street, Livermore
For a make-up: Check it out and email Megan about what you learned. -
20% Project Resources
This year, our C2 Teens are spending 20% of their sessions on a project that somehow connects their passion (what they love), their vocation (what they're good at), and a need they recognize in the world. This very open-ended project was designed to help foster creative use of the gifts God has given them in this life - and as long as the teens can explain how their passion, vocation, and a need come together in their project, they're good to go!
Here are some resources for you if you'd like to work on your 20% Project at home:
