I thank You for hiding beneath the Eucharistic species Your infinite majesty and beauty, which Your Angels delight to behold, so that I might have courage to approach the throne of Your mercy. I thank You dear Jesus, for having become the priceless Victim, to merit for me the fullness of heavenly favors. Awaken in me such confidence in You that their fullness may descend ever more fruitfully upon my soul.

We have a month full of events to help the youth of Steubenville enter into Lent and to prepare for the greatest feast of the year The Resurrection of Christ!

Our group will watch the movie together and have a short discussion after the film. April 4 EASTER! No meeting CAN YOU HELP OUR YOUTH? The Senior High youth ministry is off to a great start. Two weekends ago 40 students (and 10 team members) participated in a dynamic weekend retreat with the theme -More Than Gold. The kids had a great and very blessed time of fun and prayer. Knowing that a retreat could help solidify the new youth group, we decided to make the price of the retreat extremely reasonable so that all the kids that wanted to go would not prevented by the cost. In doing so, we have exhausted a good deal of our funds. Is there any way you could help us out? Any donation given to the Senior High youth program will be used to serve the youth of the parish - helping them become strong and faithful Catholics. Please consider making a donation! (donations can be sent or dropped off at the parish offices attn: Sr. Anne Marie, or put in the collection marked for Senior High Youth group/sr. Anne Marie). Thank you so much! May God bless and keep you! Sr. Anne Marie Gill, TOR - Youth Minister of the City of Steubenville Parishes.
