Wow! The month of March has
been a crazy month full of fun events, but before I get to that I should
mention that on February 28th we had the honour of attending the celebration
for newly created Cardinal Lacroix in Québec! It was an evening filled with the
Gospel, some music, some speeches, and we even got to perform the flashmob with
our youth again! It was definitely an evening that I will remember for a long
time to come.
We kicked of the month of March
with a weekend retreat for our junior high school youth group students. It was
a super fun weekend and a great opportunity to build fellowship within the
group, as many of them don’t see each other much outside of youth group. The weekend
focused a lot on the different ways that God calls us and the importance of
answering His call. It was such a great chance to get them talking and opening
up more with each other, and to see them really become a group of friends was amazing!
A few weeks later, we went out
to see ‘The Son of God’ with our senior high school youth group followed by a
short discussion and prayer time. It was really cool to be able to share the
experience with them and be out in the world doing normal things and see them
outside of the typical youth group setting, to and be able to discuss how we
felt about the movie.
Last weekend we had our weekend
retreat for our senior high school students! It fell on a really good weekend because
many of our youth who are often less available to come to our youth group
nights were able to make it to the retreat! The retreat theme was ‘Open Wide
the Doors to Christ’ and we spent a lot of time talking about prayer,
sacraments, fellowship, and service and how they help us to open the doors of
our hearts to God and really let Him into our lives.
God bless,
