We're back. Seems the bugs have been fixed!

Welcome to the Easter Season -- 50 days to celebrate! Looking back at Lent, we were busy with praying, fasting, and service. Holy Week and the Triduum were powerful -- the Way of the Cross was a solemn devotion led by 19 middle school Youth, along with Peggy Coons and Karen Archer. Tracy Park played the flute. Our Annual 24 Hour Fast-A-Thon was attended by 37 high school teens and was a powerful experience of social justice. We are very grateful to our leaders -- P.J. Doody, Kerrie Salka, Brian McAnern, Janie Whitney, Margo Talbot, Lynn Stewart, and Cindi Bryant-Leard. Our guests -- Urban Salt and Light, and the East Timor Taks Force were great examples to us. We were blessed by their stories and presence.

Youth Groups gather the week of April 22 -- High School on Sunday, April 22, Middle School 7 + 8 on Monday, April 23, and Middle School 6 on Tuesday, April 24. Don't miss out!

See you at Mass!
