Announcement from Claire:

"Last night at Youth Group we talked about (future saint) Venerable Carlo Acutis, who demonstrated with his short life of 15 years what it means to continually follow Jesus and use your gifts where he asks you to go!

I also announced last night that after a lot of prayer, I have decided to continue to use my gifts for the Lord by going back to school to get my Masters degree in Counseling. That being said, I am leaving my position at St. Mary's. This was an incredibly hard and sad decision to make, but I feel peace about the next adventure Jesus is leading me on!

My two years at St. Mary's have been so blessed, and I am so incredibly grateful for all of you who have supported me, inspired me, and touched my life. I am particularly grateful for all the wonderful teens I have had the opportunity to work with. I have come to appreciate them so very much - thank you for encouraging them to be a part of our youth group - they have been such a gift to me, and I will miss them.

My last day in the office is July 31st, and therefore, our last youth group is next Sunday (July 26th). All teens are invited to join us for my last night of youth group - details will be forthcoming! Please feel free to stop by afterwards to say goodbye as you are picking your teen(s) up. I will be praying for you and your families. Please keep me in your prayers, and stay in touch.

Also, please know that Fr. Jim and Fr. Keith will be looking for someone to continue to serve, encourage, and strengthen the faith of our teens and carry on our youth ministry program. Let's pray together for the next person who will serve our teens!

And last but not least, if there is only one thing that the teens will take to heart and remember, I hope it is this wonderful quote and life motto: "To be always close to Jesus, that's my life plan." - Ven. Carlo Acutis.

May you and your families always stay close to Jesus.

Blessings,
Claire Simeo "
