Update
EDGE: This week’s EDGE night is: The Weight of the World: Was Jesus Ever Anxious? Join us Sunday (10/24) at 7 PM in St. Cecilia School for an Untitled Goat Game, dodgeball, and stress-relief activities.
Life Teen: No Life Teen Sunday, October 31. We will resume our series below on November 7th.
Our current series is, More Than Flesh & Bones where we will explore the dignity of the human person while delving into what it means to be a body-soul composite being. We offer practical insight in how to take care of the whole person - body, mind, and soul - not to prove we are valuable, but to respect the value we are inherently given.
Small Groups: This week, Wednesday, Oct. 27 from 7:15-8:45 PM, High School Small Groups will begin meeting in their location either at St. Cecilia or St. Thomas Aquinas. Locations & leaders can be found below. Please let Kayla & your small group leader if you are going to be absent from small group.
High School Liturgical Minister Training: This Wednesday, Oct. 27 for students who meet at St. Cecilia
I am hosting a Liturgical Ministers Training for our High School students to see if they would like to become lectors & EMHC (EMHC is only for 11th graders but 10th graders can stay if they want to learn for after they are Confirmed) on:
This training is for students who are interested in being a Lector (reading) at Mass and being Eucharistic Ministers. This training is not mandatory. Students can feel free to come if they are interested; they just come to the worship for the training they are interested in.
Schedule for the evening:
7:30-8:15 PM - Training for Lectors
8:15-8:45 PM - Training for Eucharistic Ministers (only for 11th graders but 10th graders can stay if they want to learn for after they are Confirmed)
Interested students will meet me in the Worship Space at the start of the training, please let the students know that by coming to the training they are committed to signing for, it's for learning & be interested in.
Next week Wednesday, Nov. 3 for students who meet at St. Thomas Aquinas

Collecting Photos of High School Students: I would like to collect photos of each high school student registered in my program. In the past, I have come to their group to take their photos. This year, I would like the students to submit a photo to me.
I use these photos for a few things: (1) The primary reason I am collecting photos is to be able to recognize the students by face, learn their name and pray for them. I put these photos on one of my walls in my office. (2) I also put their photo in a binder where I ask a couple parishioners during their Adoration hour to pray for these students by name.
I would love to collect everyone's photo to be able to recognize them and call them by name. Please fill out this form! I greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
You may also bring in a picture of yourself (HS student) to me at Life Teen.
