    Dear families,

    Thank you all - students, parents, catechists, and volunteers - for your participation in a wonderful year of teen faith formation! Classes have ended for this school year, but there's more on the horizon as we enter the summer months...

    Calendar Highlights

    Thursday, May 28 at 7:00pm
    What Does the Church Teach About Homosexuality and Same-Sex Marriage?
    A presentation for teens and parents by our pastor Father Tom and clinical psychologist Dr. Frank Moncher

    Throughout the year, many of our teens have been asking questions and seeking clarity on this topic. Father Tom and Dr. Moncher will explain what the Church teaches and why, as well as answer questions. All teens and adults are invited; simultaneous translation will be provided.

    Saturday, June 6, 10am - 6pm
    Confirmation Retreat (2nd Year Candidates Only)
    This is the third and final retreat option for 2nd Year Candidates. Those who originally signed up for this date and those who missed one of the prior dates are required to attend. $20 payment due at check-in; lunch and snacks provided. Parents are invited to join us at the 5:00pm Mass that concludes the retreat.
    NOTE: In order to make the retreat happen, we still need small group leaders. Please sign up HERE.
