Mark your calendars to conclude the octave of Easter with us as we spend time with the Lord in Adoration. Dr. Holly Smith-Brooks and I will be singing the Divine Mercy Chaplet and other prayers and conclude with Benediction. The Divine Mercy Novena started on Good Friday, but you can still join us in praying the chaplet daily with us at https://www.thedivinemercy.org/message/devotions/novena.

If you've been to NCYC or Catholic Heart Workcamp, Alive in You is going to have a similar feel. If you've never been on a Mission Trip before, this is a perfect one to start out on! We stay as a group this week and it's a great mix of fun, service, and faith!


Every day at Alive in You will be a new adventure. Your days will be packed with awesome praise and worship music, prayer, motivational speakers, service, and education about our Catholic faith. Your group will also have time to come together daily and grow closer while experiencing Christ at Alive in You.


Alive in You is open to all RISING 8th-12th graders (plus any current Seniors)! Thanks to parish support, without needing to fundraise, our cost this year will be $250 for Alive in You!


There's still time to sign up! We have 4 spots left (out of 6) for young people! Sign Up with a $100 Commitment Fee that is refundable if we don't get at least 4 students to sign up.
