The 08-09 season thus far...

It's hard to believe that our Cross+Trainer season has been in session for 12 weeks now! We started our Cross+Trainer formation the first week in August, and the catechetical year began on October 7 with Unity Night. And we already have one Confirmation 2 Retreat under our belt for the year!

We are blessed to have over 80 young men and women who have answered God's call to join (or continue in) our ministry this year! We have another busy season ahead of us and we are thankful for the graces that God continually bestows on each of us both in our personal lives and in our service to the youth.

We especially ask for you to pray with us this Sunday during our Junior High Retreat! We invite you to join us during the 5pm Mass to celebrate with and support our 7th and 8th Graders!
