OLP Middle School Youth Group

WOW! What an incredible spiritual event we had last night with The Living Rosary! We needed 61 people to form a complete Rosary, and had over 75 attend! Julia Cooney and Tammy Mang did a great job organizing this event. We had great musical accompaniment as well! Thank you to everyone who attended this very special event.

 

As a reminder, here are some upcoming dates to mark on your calendars:

 

October

October 23 - BINGO from 6:15-7:30pm at St. Mary's West. This is a reminder for the 6 students who have already signed up with Mrs. Ehrman. We will be having BINGO every month, so there will be plenty of opportunities for this service project.

October 28 - Halloween Party from 6:00-9:00pm at Camp Notre Dame. Forms available from Mrs. Ehrman. Please bring in one bag of candy for our Troops (please give to Mrs. Ehrman). Permission slips for this party are due back to Mrs. Ehrman no later than October 23.

 

November

November 7 - BINGO at Presbyterian Lodge from 6:15-7:45pm. 5 students needed. Please sign up with Mrs. Ehrman.

November 13 - Teaching Holy Hour with Deacon John at 6:45pm in the Church. This is our monthly Spiritual event.

November 14 - Fr. Jason has cordially invited our Youth Group to attend the Young Church Eucharistic Adoration at 7:00pm in the church. OLP is hosting this month's event for our Diocesan ward. Your support would be greatly appreciated.

 

EXTRA! EXTRA! THE OLP MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP IS GOING GREEN!!! That's right! From now on, all of the flyers and permission slips for each of our events (except for BINGO), will be e-mailed to our members and linked in this section of The I.N.F.O. Those students wishing to participate in our monthly BINGO outings will still sign up with Mrs. Ehrman 

 

As always, should you have any questions, ideas for activities, wish to contribute to our Adult Planning Committee or volunteer at any of our events, please do not hesitate to contact Kathy Roach at kathyroach66@gmail.com or 490-4240.

 

Have a blessed week!
