Join hundreds of area teens and families for great music and prayer at Fontbonne Academy in Milton. For more information about LIFT: www.liftedhigher.com Those interested in carpooling should email The Rock at therockyouthministry@verizon.net Feb 28- Rock Night - “Baggage”… A play featuring World Youth Day performer Christin Jezak, for middle and high schoolers in the charter school auditorium following Youth Mass… Got stuff? We all do! It’s not until we take a closer look that we realize just how much baggage we carry, and how much it weighs us down. Ever feel a heaviness in your heart and you’re just not sure where it comes from? Come meet “Gina”, and watch her story unfold as she figures out how to lighten her load of baggage, and how freeing it is to clean it out… and we’re not talking about backpacks and purses!

Please note that the proposed ski trip will not be offered this year due to a lack of adult organizers and chaperones. Have a great Feb school vacation, and we’ll try again next year! |

make a difference this New Year… …resolve to get involved… share your talents… ...take time to
strengthen your faith… Middle
and high school students are needed to serve at the 5:00 pm Youth Mass. Complete training will be provided, and most
serve about once a month as lectors, altar servers, gift bearers, and
ushers. Students who have received Confirmation are also invited to
serve as Eucharistic Ministers. To
serve, contact Mrs. Moccia at ljscmoccia@aol.com.
Middle
and high school vocalists and musicians are needed for the Youth Mass Choir. Perhaps you
enjoy singing and/or playing in your school's chorus or drama club.
Perhaps you are not a performer at all, but have the gift of song and
are searching for a place where music fits in your
life. Please consider sharing your gifts and your
faith by proclaiming God's word in song. The Youth Mass Youth
Choir rehearses one to two times per month on Sunday afternoons and sings
at Youth Mass once per month. For more information, contact Mrs.
Kelly at pfkellgro@verizon.net. Parents
and teens can lend a hand with Service From The Rock programs. Adults can help run a
project, and teens are needed to participate in many upcoming service
opportunities. For more information about Service From The Rock programs, contact Mr. Wiech at servicefromtherock@gmail.com . |
