Life Teen Update: Shadow Stations this Wed.

Hi everyone!
This Wednesday (3/28), rather than meeting at Sacred Heart at 6:15pm, we will meet at the Columbus High School gym at 6:15pm to see the Shadow Stations. They will probably last for about 45 minutes to an hour, so a safe pick up time would be around 7:30p.m. This drama will be presented by students from St. John's and Christ the King. Please join us for this important event. I will wait for you at the door of they gym, so we can sit together.
On April 4th there will be no Life Teen, but we will be attending Holy Thursday Mass at 6pm @ Sacred Heart on April 5th together. This is not a Holy Day of Obligation, but is still highly recommended and an important day.
Our last three scheduled meetings after that are April 11th, 18th, and 25th. There will be a presentation on either 4/11 or 4/18 about the new "Venture Club", so I will give you more details on that later. Start thinking about what you would like to do this Summer. Let me know if you would like to still meet weekly in the Summer, or if you would prefer a looser schedule of trips/events, or a combination of the two. Let me know what you think by email or this Wednesday.
Thanks and God Bless,
You all are in my prayers.

Life Teen update, can you help with the St. Patrick's festival this weekend?

Hi everyone,
Just a reminder, that Mandy will be going into labor any day now, so
watch your email for Life Teen cancellations!

Also, this Saturday, March 17th from 4-7pm is the St. Patrick's Festival
at Sacred Heart. This is a fundraiser to raise money for Totus Tuus, a
Catholic Day-Camp for youth this summer. We are hoping to raise enough
money to make Totus Tuus free of charge.

The festival is this Saturday from 4-7 pm, so any help during this time
would be appreciated.

This Thursday we will be setting up at 6pm, decorating Toeller Hall and
making posters. Please meet in Toeller Hall Thursday at 6pm if you can
help. Please help either Thursday or Saturday if you can.

Right now Life Teen will still be held this Wednesday, but I will send out
an email if Mandy goes into labor. Please keep us in your prayers so this
will be a smooth delivery.

Also, I will be awarding REAP points to any student who helps
Thursday or Saturday.
Thanks and God Bless,
David Alcott

Life Teen this Wednesday, and St. Patrick's Day Festival


Hi everyone,
This Wednesday for youth group we will first meet directly in the
Church for an opportunity for Confession/Reconciliation. If there is
time, we will return to the youth room for the remainder of the hour
and work on our B.I.B.L.E. T-shirts. Please bring any stencils or
ideas you have, I will have the blank shirts and fabric markers
ready. If we don't get to them this Wednesday we will continue the
following week.

On Saturday March 17th we are looking for helpers to help staff the St.
Patrick's Festival at Sacred Heart. Judy Gachnang is working hard and
taking the lead on this, to raise money for Totus Tuus, a powerful
summer camp to be held this summer for Sacred Heart and Corpus Christi,
led by College students. The festival is from 4-7pm on St. Patrick's
Day, which is a Saturday. I will award 2 points per hour to any
student who helps with this project. We will need to make posters,
laminate tickets, etc ahead of time and will have a work day at Judy's
house, and then the older students will run the carnival games on the
festival day. Judy is thinking of making T-shirts for the ones who want
to help, so she needs a count of who will help.

The St. Patrick's festival will have ham and turkey, dressing, potatoes
and gravy, salad bar, desserts, and hotdogs , maybe a chocolate fountain
We will have carnival games in the gym. Tickets are $7 sold after Mass
the week before and $8 at the door, $3 for children under 18, preschool
free. We will have a bake sale and religious items for sale as well.

Thanks and have a blessed Lent, let me know if you are interested in
helping with the St. Patrick's day festival.
