Sunday, January 15th, the youth of our parish participated in a special Holy Mass at 11:00 AM by serving as altar servers and reading prayers of the faithful. After Holy Mass there was a Youth Meeting followed by a reception. Participants enjoyed a game of musical chairs.
At the meeting the youth spoke about past events such as car wash and drive-in movie night in the summer. This year Youth Convo will take place from July 23 to July 27, 2012 at Niagara Falls. NY. A future youth fundraiser will be discussed at the next meeting to defray the cost for participants. After the meeting the church provided refreshment and pizza. At 2 PM we gathered at Montclair University, Floyd Hall Arena. We had a good turnout. After the group ice skate rental, seventeen youth enjoyed skating at the beautiful facility.
The parish sponsored the cost of tickets for our youth who are considered very important in our parish ministry. We thank parents and grandparents who brought the youth for the meeting and ice skating. Several adults were pleased to watch the young people’s endless energy and enthusiasm. The youth returned home happy and additionally witnessed a happy evening watching the Giants win!
The next youth Holy Mass and meeting will take place on Sunday, February 19th. Come and enjoy!
