Hello Youth Ministry Families,

Lent begins in just a few days! You can sign up for the Ash Wednesday soup supper below. And we are looking for some teen helpers on Wednesday nights in Lent and Easter season for childcare at Alpha (we will feed you dinner!). Sign up for that is below too.

Ash Wednesday Soup Supper: Hope you can join us on 3/5 for a simple dinner at 5:30 and Mass at 7 at St. Catherine's. RSVP below!

NEW PROGRAM!! June Retreat Overnight! Because the one-night Search retreat was such a success this year, we are hoping to run another overnight retreat this June 13-14. We need 12 teens to make this retreat happen, so please let me know if you are interested soon! The registration form is linked below.

Summer Service Retreat: Every year, we are blessed to spend a week with the Sisters of St. Joseph living in community and serving the poor. Our retreat this summer will be Mon. Jul 28-Friday Aug. 1. Incoming 9th - outgoing 12th graders are ellible to come. Space is limited to 12 teens, and priority will be given to upperclassmen who register by the May 13 deadline. The registration form is linked below.

Confirmation Prep: Our next meeting for the whole group will be Sunday April 6.. Please complete the online assignment on The Creed: Jesus before we meet. YEAR TWO candidates ONLY: there is an additional meeting on Sunday March 16, 7-8:30 in the Education Building. This is an important meeting for you and your sponsor (or, if your sponsor is out of town, then a parent can come with you). At this meeting we will rehearse for your big day, complete your Diocesan--required exit conversation, and reflect on what being Confirmed will mean for you.

Middle School Youth Group! Our next meeting will be Sunday March 23 from 7-8:30 in the youth room. The online discussion starter is linked below (please note that this is a repeat assignment from our cancelled meeting back in March).

Senior High Youth Group: We meet every Tuesday from 7-8:30 in the youth room, lower level of the Education building at Transfiguration. All 9th-12th graders are welcome to come and bring a friend.

Coming this Spring -- ALPHA! Parents, I'm so excited to announce a new program for adults coming this March. Alpha is a great place to explore life's big questions in a non-judgemental community and also enjoy some great food. It's also a great place to invite a friend who has questions about faith. I hope you'll consider joining us! Sign up is below. And TEENS, we are looking for some help providing childcare. If you can serve, please sign up below!

As always, please be in touch with any questions or concerns. I love to hear from you!

Peace,

Anne

It's a new month, and it's time for a new prayer challenge. For March, we are challenging you to attend Mass weekly and experience the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. And, our weekly Faith Break podcast continues with a special series on Lenten practices to bring us closer to God during this season.
