4 Sacred Heart Youth Ministry LiGHT Gathering! Sunday, November 17 6:00-8:00pm in the Youth Center The LiGHT Youth Group would like to welcome all middle and high school youth to this November event. In honor of the season we are celebrating the saints that have come before us. Just like we would ask anyone we know (friends, family or strangers) to pray for us, especially people who we see as holy, we ask Mary and all the saints to pray for us and intercede for us with our Father. During November, we remember those who have gone before us to their heavenly glory and celebrate that our body s death is not an end, but a beginning. Prayer Ministry We ask all the saints to pray for us, but I would ask you reading this article to also pray for the youth of our parish and the programs that reach out to them, whether that be the school, the faith formation program, or youth ministry. No great act in the church can ever proceed without the grace of God, and so before we try to accomplish great things in our ministries, we must always reach out to God, the source and summit of life. Please pray for our children, that they may grow always in life and grace. Steubenville Youth Conference! Calling all high school youth! Registration for the Steubenville Catholic Youth Conference is coming up at the end of the month!
