Encounter Him in the Sacraments at Wednesday Night Mass and at Totus Tuus, and celebrate all of His gifts at the EDGE Camping Trip and I Cubs Game.

High School Summer Book Study: Our Summer Small Group is going to be a book study group reading & discussing Tattoos on the Heart by Gregory Boyle! It's a great book about being compassionate towards each other. You will laugh & cry and sometimes at the same time! Fr. Gregory Boyle is a Jesuit priest in Los Angels, CA who founded Homeboy Industries. Homeboy Industries is the largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world. For over 30 years, we have stood as a beacon of hope in Los Angeles to provide training and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated people, allowing them to redirect their lives and become contributing members of our community. You can learn more about Homeboy Industries here: https://homeboyindustries.org/. Watch a video clip of Fr. Gregory here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP1qUdXdqeE; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipR0kWt1Fkc; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk--XN4ozr8
Vacation Bible School: The time has come! Vacation Bible School 2022 is right around the corner!!! We will be digging into the Marvelous Mystery of the Mass July 25th - 29th from 9 am -12pm, but we can't run VBS without many volunteers. Hopefully, you witnessed how fun and easy it is to help with VBS. We try really hard to pair up adults so no one is "in charge" of an area all by themselves. Each area has a detailed manual filled with ideas for each day of VBS. As a co-lead you get to help choose what happens at your station. This will mean some work done before VBS. We also need many helpers who can just show up during the week to help things move smoothly. How can YOU help make this a great event?
Some slots require an Adult (graduated from High School or older), some are for youth going into 8th grade or older and others are for any age (going into 6th grade or older). We will offer child care and preschool for 0-4 year olds for parents who volunteer. Please mark in the comments the ages of your children who are younger than entering Kindergarten this Fall. We prefer that you help for the whole week or share a spot with a spouse or friend.
THANK YOU for helping in any way you can.
Again - VBS is July 25th - 29th from 9 am -12pm. Stay tuned for more details!! It is going to be another fantastic week of sharing Jesus with our youngsters.
