Thanks!

Thank you to our wonderful retreat planning committee, Matt Lamb, Gina Babinec, Michael Mitchell, Elizabeth Hassett, Kristen Videka, and Taylor Tronsen, who put in many hours planning a great night!  We had a great time and look forward to the next one!  Special thanks to Katie Richardson, Mary Rose Volkman, and Ann Mitchell who were our super awesome chaperones.  Also, to Ann and Dale Mitchell, Randy Schmidt, and Jeannie DiLuia who provided a fabulous breakfast in the morning.  Thanks for the donuts, Father Wheaton.  To John Schwaller of HF who held an energetic and team-building presentation.  To Kristin Troutman for starting our day with peaceful yoga.  What a super fantastic really fun retreat!

Thank you to Natalie Lamb and her family for planning this year’s Hunger Banquet.  It was a huge success with over 65 participants and a donation to Catholic Relief Services of $500.  Thanks to Karen, Maggie, and Ryan Danielian for your help with cooking.  Thanks to James Lamb, our MC.  Also to Jack Coleman, Father Mike Nacius, Rita Gallagher, Amy Pellettiere, and Carl Wolf of Respond Now for sharing your experiences with us.  Thanks to Joey Hupfer, Mike McGrath, Ryan Kelly, and Paul Lamb for helping with setup.  The meal was delicious and information enlightening.

Thank you to our Freshman Quest Group who provided our men of PADS with a delicious meal on March 9^th.  I’m sure they appreciated your kind hospitality!

as a faith community

Looking for TEENS to help serve and sell tickets for our Annual Breakfast with the Easter Bunny which will be held on Sunday, March 28 during the morning masses.  Please let me know if you are interested in helping!

Teen Mass

TGIF Gathering

Immediately following mass in the Church Hall

On Thursday, April 1, teens and their families are invited to take a Holy Week Pilgrimage to churches in the Archdiocese.  A plan is being made to take us on a bus trip to different churches in the city to see their Lenten and Holy Week practices and displays.  The tentative plan is to depart after our IJP Holy Thursday service, visit four or five churches, and then stop for a late night snack (breakfast) at a diner on the way home.  The fee to attend will be minimal.  Please let me know if this is something you would consider attending.  Families who have done something similar in other parishes have so enjoyed the experience!
