"....giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance

of the holy ones in light." Colossians 1:12

God wants us to be happy! Instead of looking at the Ten

Commandments as being restrictive and telling us what

we can't do, look at them as guides for living a joy-filled

and peaceful life. Most of our problems arise when we put our own needs first or spend

most of our time trying to acquire "things". Try putting God first in all things instead.

All Parents of:

And ALL Interested People

Join us for a “Praysentation”

on how we can keep our youth

engaged in the Catholic Church as

they become young adults.

Wednesday, November 30, 6:30-7:45 p.m. Dr. Mark Krejci, Director of the

Office of Marriage, Family & Life in the Diocese of Crookston, will

describe the results of a survey of all 9th and 11th grade

students in the Diocese and you will learn about the key role

all adults in the parish play in helping our youth grow into

engaged young Catholics. There will not only be time for

listening but also time for praying for our youth, their parents,

for all adults who witness their Catholic faith to young people and

for young adults who have left the Church. Finally, Dr. Krejci will review, based

on survey results, some concrete steps parish communities can take to best

prepare youth for life-long engagement with their Catholic Faith.

Dr. Krecji is a husband, father grandfather and a college professor.

Your children are the future

of the Catholic Church!

Childcare will be provide. Call the parish office if you need childcare.
