Dear Mexico mission group,

We continue to build the St. Charles Youth Group. You may not know that the first mission trip (about 29 years ago) was initiated by the teen group (then called the “Charlie’s Angels” youth group) and some very committed adults.

I am extending an invitation to all Mexico mission participants to join us for our next event on Saturday, December 14th at 4:30 PM in Borromeo Hall.

Attached is the flyer for the event. We’ll be making Christmas cards for patients in local hospitals (which can count toward their volunteer hours) and then enjoying a movie together with some hot chocolate. It’s a simple, meaningful opportunity for the teens to serve, connect, and build community within the parish.

We would love for the Mexico Mission teens/parents (current and former) to start participating in these Youth Group gatherings going forward. They provide a welcoming environment for faith formation, service, and fellowship.

Please feel free to share the flyer and information with the any mission trip alums, teens and families.

Thank you for your ongoing support of our parish teens.

Hello mission team, next Sunday, July 20 is the mission welcome back mass.

We want all missionaries to participate. Come to 8:30am mass!

Our group will go up to the altar and spend a couple of minutes speaking about our mission and to thank the community for their support. We could not have done it without their help and generosity.

I NEED ONE TO TWO TEEN SPEAKERS to spend two minutes speaking to the community. They would love to hear about your mission (topics can include why did you go, what did you do, what did you get out of the trip…).

I will plan to close out with a quick thank you.

Please come wearing your mission T-shirt.
