Welcome to SASM Youth Ministry
Hi, Everyone!
​
Here are the updates for the week of July 4, 2022.
Upcoming Youth Ministry Events:
Thursday, July 7th, those that have signed up for the middle school Darien Lake trip will be meeting at St. Elizabeth's in Baldwinsville at 7:00 am. Teens should bring spending money for meals, comfortable clothing, snacks to share on the bus, and modest bathing suit/swim trunks for water rides, and towels to dry off (If your child plans to go on water rides). We will be returning to St. Elizabeth's at 9:30 pm. If you have not already submitted the $48 payment please do so as soon as possible, at the latest by Thursday morning. Please find the trip waiver here. Please fill it out and return to Carlos via email or as a physical copy on Thursday morning.
Sunday, July 10th, Youth Group will be meeting at the St. Augustine's Parish Hall from 5-7pm. We will be continuing our series on the Holy Spirit. Teens that are attending Steubenville should try to be at this Youth Group as we will be praying to the Holy Spirit for their trip and for other intentions. As always, games, food, and fun will be provided!
Following the Sunday, July 10th Youth Group, there will be a mandatory parent/guardian and teen meeting for all of those who will be attending the Steubenville Youth Conference. The meeting will be from 7-8 pm.
Thursday, July 14th, Holy Hour to pray for our Youth attending the Steubenville Youth Conference. The Holy Hour will be at St. Mary's Church, 7-8 pm.
Other Announcements:
Our high school pilgrimage to the Steubenville Youth Conference is rapidly approaching (Next week!) I truly believe that our teens that are attending, all will have an opportunity to encounter the Holy Spirit in a unique and amazing way! As we prepare to embark on our pilgrimage, I ask for an increase in prayers for our teens and our chaperones. We will be holding a Holy Hour at St. Mary's Church, Thursday July 14th from 7-8pm, and all of our parishioners from both parishes, and family members of those attending the pilgrimage are invited to come out and pray for our teens and chaperones!
Totus Tuus:
Totus Tuus is a summer Catholic youth program dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic faith through evangelization, discipleship, Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship. Those who have gone to Totus Tuus in the past know how much fun it is! This year the campus that we will be attending is at St. Elizabeth's in Baldwinsville.
