Trash into Treasure

If you haven't already heard, a group of our young adults will be going to Rio de Jinero, Brazil, in Summer 2013 for World Youth Day! They will be participating in Days in the Diocese, where they will be doing mission work for four days in a selected diocese, followed by World Youth Day activities from July 23-28.

But to get there, we need some of your help. Find the WYD RIO 2013 participants at Kam Swap Meet tomorrow, Saturday, July 28. You can turn our trash into treasure OR bring in your own things for them to sell.

Stay tuned for upcoming fundraiser events :)

Man of the Beatitudes

Today is the feast day of our patron saint Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati

"With all the strength of my soul I urge you young people to approach the Eucharistic table as often as you can. Feed on this bread of angels whence you will draw all the energy you need to fight inner battles. Because true happiness, dear friends, does not consist in the pleasures of the world or in earthly things, but in peace of conscience, which we have only if we are pure in heart and mind."

~Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati

 

CANONIZATION PRAYER

"O merciful God,
Who through the perils of the world
deigned to preserve by Your grace
Your servant Pier Giorgio Frassati
pure of heart and ardent of charity,
listen, we ask You, to our prayers and,
if it is in Your designs that he be glorified by the Church,
show us Your will,
granting us the graces we ask of You,
through his intercession,
by the merits of Jesus Christ,
Our Lord. Amen."

IMPRIMATUR, 1932
+Maurillo, Archbishop of Turin

Nothing like a Good Roast

If you missed the Farewell Party for our priests, here is something you must see!! Let us continue to pray for them as they do their mission, especially for Father Pascual who is heading the Office of Vocations... our diocese and church need more religious!

Enjoy 4th of July

Fourth of July is on a Wednesday this year...

We will not be having our regular Wednesday night bible study so that you may celebrate this day with your family and friends. See you at next week's bible study, 8:30pm in the Youth Room :)



Have a safe 4th of July!
