Past Fuego Fridays/ Eventos Pasados
Fuego Fridays are monthly gatherings of young people filled with Faith, Family, and Fun for FREE. The objective is to inspire young people to become active on their faith and values through peer to peer formation and witness. Fuego Fridays introduces key topics each month for local Youth Groups and Catholic Schools to follow up with their members back at their parishes.
Los «Fuego Fridays» son encuentros mensuales para jóvenes, llenos de fe, familia y diversión, y totalmente gratuitos. Su objetivo es inspirar a los jóvenes a vivir activamente su fe y sus valores mediante la formación entre pares y el testimonio. Cada mes, los «Fuego Fridays» presentan temas clave para que los grupos juveniles locales y las escuelas católicas les den seguimiento con sus miembros en sus respectivas parroquias.

I understand that we, the parents/guardians, are responsible for the transportation of my child to and from the event on the specific times mentioned for drop-off and Pick-up. I understand and consent to pictures and video being taken at the event, including all participants, for the purpose of promotion and marketing of the event and Blessed Sacrament Youth Center. Food will not be provided so make sure your child comes fed. There will be snacks and drinks on sale. My child, through my direction and guidance, will be responsible for choosing the food items best to eat according to his/her health. In consideration of allowing my child to participate in this event, I indemnify and hold harmless the organizers, staff, and volunteers involved in this event from any and all liability. I realize and accept that in the event of my child’s behavior affects the safety of the event, the organizers and chaperones reserve the right to return my child home.
