We had such a great time with Totus Tuus during the teen evening program. The Teens learned how to pray Lectio Divina and night prayer from Liturgy of the hours. The prayed in front of Jesus in the Blessed Sacramnent and had an opportunity to go to Confession. They grew in fellowship playing Ninja, Signs, Marshmallow Dodgeball. They got to hear the witness testimonies of 5 missionaries who are striving to live Catholic in college. We were blessed to have Josh, Reece, Valerie, Bubby and Julia at our parish. Please continue to pray for Team Maximilian Kolbe as they go to different parishes throughout the rest of the summer..

We had such a great Totus Tuus week last week. So blessed to have the Totus Tuus Missionaries with us. The Day Camp kids learned about the 10 Commandments and the Luminous mystery. The Missionaries mixed in a great blend of silly songs, skits and activities to help keep the kids having fun. The kids went to Mass every day and learned Mass Parts to become more active participants at Mass. Fr. Juan even on Thursday let the day camp kids sing one of the communion songs theu practiced during daily Mass. Thank you to all the parishioners that help with hosting, providing a meal or volunteered during the day. Stay tuned for more information at the trens evening program.
