Winter Calendar is here!! Check out the events we have coming up :) Hope to see you at one or all of them!

Be Holy.

End of November Already??

It is November 27th already...how does that happen!

Thanksgiving is over...Turkey is eaten...Naps have been taken...The Solemnity of Christ the King was just celebrated on Sunday, and we are in the last week of the liturgical year! That means...

It's almost ADVENT!!

Remember those Advent calendars with the little doors that open and chocolate is inside? Those were delicious...anyway, more on Advent later!

Today, check out this article...It is a piece over at Lifeteen.com offering advice to Catholic men, it's pretty awesome!

"I love being a man, but with this gift comes a great amount of responsibility. I may still have a lot to learn, but I do know that working on these things now can save you a lot of agony and pain in the future. But more importantly, they can put you down a greater path to holiness and allow you to lead others closer to Christ."

Be Holy, men....and women...but this time, talking to the men. ;)

Thanksgiving and December

Thanksgiving is FAST approaching! At least I think it is...I'm confused by what I hear on the radio!

What a blur this year has been...yet at the same time...haven't I been working this job forever?? It is hard to believe it will only be a year come December.

And with that, December is going to be a great month! Check out all the things we have going on! Come to something, or all of it, and invite friends! Parents are welcome at these events as well. :) What a great way to bond with the youth during this Thanksgiving/Advent/Christmas Season!
