SPONSOR OUR YOUTH! As you have seen in our bulletin over the course of the last few weeks, I am organizing a group of teens to attend this year’s Steubenville East Summer Youth Conference at UMass Lowell in July.

These youth conferences have been sponsored by Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio for about the last 30 years. It is a great weekend for young people to come together to hear great speakers, fantastic contemporary Christian music, spend time together, and most importantly to grow in their faith. The weekend brings together about 3,000 young people from around New England beyond. The University holds these weekends all over the country all summer long.

I have myself attended the conference about 20 times, and we always know how uplifting it is to have young people involved in our parish, so you can only imagine how amazing it is to see literally thousands of teens who aren’t afraid of embracing their faith and living a life with Jesus and the Church in it.

For our parish, it is my hope that this Conference will be a stepping stone to help us begin to revitalize youth ministry in our parish. We already have eight young people registered for the weekend and I’m hoping to have at least 12 (even more!). But, the weekend comes with a price. It costs $250 per person for this weekend. Each young person has already committed $50 as a deposit and it is my hope that we can fundraise the rest for this great experience for our youth.

We will be having a car wash to help with that in the weeks ahead. I’ll let you know as soon as we confirm a date. But in the interim, I’m asking if any of you would be willing to SPONSOR ONE OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE for this great weekend. Full sponsorship of a teen would be $200, but of course, we’d be glad for anything you can do to help offset this cost.

It is a rare thing these days to have teens who want to give up a weekend of their summer so they can gather with other people of faith. Let’s help make this a reality for our kids. If you can help, place your donation in an envelope with my name on the front. Drop it in the collection, drop it by the office, send it by mail. Any help will be appreciated!

Peace, love,
and prayers,

Fr. Tom
