March is just around the corner and we have so much going on this month that it is hard to keep track if it all. I hope you are all doing a better job than me.
First, I want to remind everyone once again of the upcoming Youth Holy Hour at 5:30 on Monday, March 3rd (that’s this Monday). You don’t have to stay or come for the entire hour, but I do encourage you to be part of this. It is not every year that a holy item, blessed by Pope John Paul II will come to Our Lady of Victory and have a special place for the youth!!! Let’s make the most of this amazing opportunity!!
Secondly, I need help for this weekend! Marianne and I would like to have a table set up for people to sign up for the youth group retreat that is happening next weekend, but we will be out of town (it’s her birthday on March 1st!!). So, can anybody help by sitting at a table in the back of church for each of the Masses? Just leave a comment or email me directly. Thanks!!
Thirdly, on Palm Sunday, that’s only two weekends away, St. Antoninus is hosting a Prayer Walk! This is a great opportunity for you to pray for the people in your family and community while hanging out with your friends and other youth from around the area. It will end at St. Antoninus with lunch and a little jam session. It should be fun, so let me know if you can come. I’ll email you the forms you’ll need.
Fourthly, Marianne and I have decided to work with my idea for the t-shirts and get them ordered soon. Hopefully I can get the order in by the end of the week, but there is a lot on my plate and I don’t know if I’ll be able to. Let me know your shirt size so that I can get the order correct. I hope to order some for everyone and hopefully have some for the parents who will help us with our fundraisers and youth group events.
Fifthly (is that a word?), don’t forget the deadline to sign up for Alive In You is Wednesday, March 12th. Take the time now to talk it over with your families and get back with me. Information about the trip can be found on the Permission Slips page (and yes, those links work for sure).
Finally, check out this great post about a priest who truly knows that he has found his calling and loves just being a priest!! It is a true testament to what we talked about in January about figuring out what God wants us to do with our lives.
