Three Questions...

Hello Team,

We are just a few days from LENT! (I know, it always sneaks up on me -- every year!)... yes, Ash Wednesday is March 5th!

... here are three great questions from Archbishop Chaput on getting reading for Lent.

Food for thought...

Sunday, March 2nd

Sunday, March 2nd: MOVIE and SOCIAL; Start at 7:15 pm in the Former Church -- will likely be done by 9 pm due to length of movie... we will watch "The Jeweller's Shop" (a movie based on Pope John Paul II's play)

See you Sunday!

Fr. W

Small Group?

This week's small group for Grades 6-8 will be a conversation on Pope Francis, lead by Father Wilke... 

We are nearly at the one year anniversary of his election and installation as the Bishop of Rome, so lets talk about what we have learned and experienced as a Church with Francis as our Pope.

(In an effort to keep our Youth Group both dynamic and improving, we will be looking for conversions like this for our small group sessions in the future, if this week seems to go well.)

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Youth Group this weekend!

Hello Team -- warm weather and youth group on Sunday!

Sunday, February, 23, 2014: T3: The Teen Timeline for grades 9-12, and Small Group for grades 6-8.

See you at 7:15 pm in the Former Church,

Fr. W

Just a Reminder...

Hello Team,

Just a reminder -- we will have Youth Group Tomorrow (Sunday, Feb. 16th) at 7:15 pm in the Former Church.

We will have BOTH the Encounter Program and the T3: The Teen Timeline.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!

God Bless,

Fr. Wilke

Sunday, February 16th

Hello Team,

This Sunday (February 16th) we will have both Encounter and T3: The Teen Timeline!

Looking forward to seeing you there,

Fr. W

No Youth Group on Sunday, February 9th

Hello Team,

Unfortunately, we will not meet for Youth Group this weekend - among other pieces to the puzzle of Youth Group, I would like to do both Catechists lessons at the same time to open up the schedule for more options in the future.

Sorry for the late notice on this - another busy week here at Holy Name!

Next week we will have BOTH Encounter and T3 -- more on that soon!

God Bless and stay warm,

Fr. W
