Teen Ministry

"Dear young people...Do not wait until you are older in order to set out on the path of holiness! Holiness is always youthful, just as eternal as the youthfulness of God... no fear is so great that it can completely suffocate the hope that springs eternal in the hearts of the young. You are our hope; the young are our hope. Do not let that hope die! Stake your lives on it!" ~Pope John Paul II

CYX 2008

This year was our first year at CYX, and we’re already looking forward to next year!  We’ll definitely be more prepared (no forgetting towels or sheets!!) and I’m sure it will be even more fun.  We heard and sang some great music, watched praise dancers from Ss. Monica and Luke, experienced age-determined learning sessions, met teens from other parishes in the diocese, had free time at Camp Lawrence with a BBQ!, and a dance Saturday evening.  We got to see live feed from Austrailia during the World Youth Day Mass, and more locally, the teens from the Diocesin Youth Council acted out the Passion, the Rag Man, and some less serious skits (like the “Whose Line is it Anyway? version of explaining the weekend’s rules).  We had parish time in the evening which included a foot washing ceremony along with individual sharing.  All in all it was an exhausting yet awesome weekend filled with faith and fun!
