St. Francis Youth Group

Today, the Church celebrates the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua. Personally, I celebrate this feast day because my middle name is Anthony! Check out this video describing some of his life...over 5 minutes, but well worth it! When someone loses something, often others say "ask St. Anthony for help!" This is the guy they are talking about! Also, San Antonio, TX was named after him. :)

You can also read more about him HERE!


I'd also like to remind/invite you all to two exciting events coming up:

1) The first, again, is TOTUS TUUS! June 17-21(Grades 7-12) and June 18-22 (Grades 1-6)

There is still time to register! This is the first year St. Francis of Assisi Parish is putting on this program, so we want to make it GOOD! Sign up and come enjoy a week of faith and fun! Middle and high schoolers...join us in the evening...you will not be disappointed! And please invite friends! 

Forms can be found HERE!

If you are interested in volunteering for this event, contact Matthew!

2) The second is an event for the whole Diocese of Winona! Entitled "Turning our Gaze to Christ" this two day conference aims to present solid Catholic teaching for the whole family. There is both an adult and youth track for speakers, Mass, Eucharistic adoration, reconciliation, and more! All for the cheap price of $20 a person, or $50 max for a whole family! Individual days are cheaper. This type of conference anywhere else would cost more than 100 or 200 dollars!

So check it out and register! June 22nd and 23rd at the Rochester Civic Center and St. John's Parish. You can see the whole schedule HERE!  And more information HERE!  I would not advise missing this!

St. Anthony of Padua, pray for us!

Be Holy!
