Lifeline March 2010
Another GREAT Lifeline Road Trip. We took a bus of 36 people up to the Net Center in St. Paul for the monthly Lifeline youth Mass. There were about 800 in attendance. Good music, powerful Mass and an inspirational (and entertaining!) speaker. After Lifeline we went to a local pizza place for pizza, pop and fellowship.
Lifeline Road Trips are a great way for young Catholics to get fired up about their faith! If you have ever desired more...give it a try!
