It's been a while since our last update in here... which means that we've been crazy busy these past few weeks!
Our last Confirmation 2 retreat in January was our BIGGEST one yet! Thank you to everyone for praying with us all weekend and for supporting our youth.
Last night marked our last UNITY NIGHT of the year. We celebrated Shrove Tuesday with traditional pancake races. Big thanks to the Knights of Columbus for helping us cook pancakes and feeding 600 teens. It was a little nutty at times but we all pulled it off... thanks for the amazing teamwork!
As we begin the season of Lent today, the Cross+Trainers will each be spiritually adopting and praying for a priest in our diocese. Our diocese has more parishes and more people than there are priests to serve and minister to them... so the priests we do have in our diocese are working extra hard to serve all of us. They need our prayers!
Our challenge for Lent is not just to give up something, but to do something extra... what will you be doing for Lent?

About Us
The Cross+Trainers are a group of young adults ranging from Confirmed high school seniors to post-college young adults who serve the parish community of St. Paul the Apostle in Chino Hills, California through a presentation of dynamic retreats for youth. Our primary ministry focus is discipleship. We recognize that we cannot expect to be effective in ministry unless we have first invested all of ourselves into our own personal formation in prayer, regular participation in the Sacraments, catechesis, meditation on Scriptures, and in keeping our brothers and sisters in the ministry accountable to Christ's call to discipleship. Thus, our apostolate, or duty in giving back to the Church, is through the retreats that we staff and facilitate.We are faithful to the teachings of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, taught and passed down to the faithful through the generations. We think Pope Benedict XVI is amazing. This blog is lovingly dedicated to Our Blessed Mother.
