    Introduction, Welcome and Thankyou

    Welcome to GSCC Youth Ministry's new blog. We have so much going on and so much to offer our students at GSCC and throughout our community. We want to spread the word, so you can expect to receive regular updates on this blog, in addition to social media. And we're making it easy. We've setup an RSS feed, so if you subscribe to our emails, you'll receive timely updates of all blog entries.  We welcome your feedback, please let us know how we're doing. 

    The Youth Ministry team would like to thank GSCC and its generous donations during the second collection at Masses on June 14th. Thanks to your generosity we were able to meet our fundraising goal!

    Youth Group Sundays in the Summer

    Our High School Nights is still active all summer long. Youth Group will continue to meet every Sunday from 7:30 – 9:00 pm throughout the summer. We kicked off our summer Youth Group meetings with ice cream and treats on June 21st. Please join us next Sunday for more fun!

    Drop-In and Soccer

    Our summer drop-ins will be held every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday in July and August. Join us from 6:00 – 8:00 pm for some fun, both Middle and High School students are invited. The first drop-in is July 2nd.

    On July 6th we’ll have a special drop-in with a “snowball” and water balloon fight!! Curious about snowballs in July? Well visit us on July 6th to see what it’s all about!

    Our first Soccer Wednesday is July 1st, don’t miss out!

    Field Trip

    Our first field trip of the summer is SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding) on July 12th. Join us again for this annual trip. Permissions are due July 8th.

    Middle School Work Camp

    Our Middle School Workcamp is filling up. What a great opportunity for middle schoolers to volunteers and give back to their community.  The application deadline is July 12th.

    High School Work Camp: June 20 - 26

    This week the Arlington Diocese is hosting their annual High School Work Camp in Shenandoah, VA. The Diocese is sending 800 kids contributing to a total of over 1300 volunteers. They will be working on over 160 residences in Shenandoah to help make them warmer, safer and/or dryer.  

    Good Shepherd has a fantastic group of student and adult volunteers attending this week.  We sent 27 students, 6 adult leaders, 5 contractors and another 6 adults to help with security.  The week got off to a wet start as the GSCCYM caravan headed out Saturday night. But they soon settled in with some great games and activities during the orientation on Sunday. It truly is a fantastic and life changing week for our high school students. We’ll have daily updates on the blog as well as some brief bios of all the students attending, so stay tuned.

    Hi, Patty!

    MSWC Is July 29-August 1.

    July 29 is a 90-minutes fun-and-games, get-to-know-each-other, welcome and intro opening session. The service days are July 30-August 1.

    Additionally we have a celebration day at Kings Dominion on August 2 that is not technically part of MSWC but many of the MSWC youth participate in.

    You can find the application for MSWC here (http://www.gs-cc.org/uploads/5/1/4/4/51444721/ym_mswc.pdf) and the Kings Dominon permission here (https://web4ucorp.com/forms/forms/view.php?id=575115).
