Hey all - paintball is a fun activity but requires some planning. It also is more fun with more people, so be sure to invite your friends, but with that, I'll need permission slips for each of you, to keep you safe and all. So if you could, let me know by JUNE 18th if you are joining us, and fill out the permission slip above and either drop it off at St. Charles or email it to me. The cost is $35 which includes rentals of a paintball gun, full face mask, and tank & belt pack with pods, as well as all-day air fills, 250 paintballs, and pizza.
Parents - we could use some drivers to get us all down there. If you are willing and able to drive let me know so I can sign you up as a volunteer driver (diocese requires a form).
Finally - please fill out this waiver for White River http://waiver.whiteriverpaintball.com/

High school youth ministry is held on Sundays from 6pm-8pm. We gather in the Aquarium upstairs in the school to discuss things like current hashtags, popular emojis and God. Our main goal is to grow deeper in relationship to God and one another as we continue to cultivate our understanding of who we are and who God is calling us to be. There are always snacks and a good competitive game of ping-pong.
Throughout the year we also attend diocesan sponsored retreat days and overnight lock-ins. St. Charles youth are always welcome to bring friends and toss out new ideas for games and topics. Check out the bulletin for current information and schedules regarding our youth ministry program.
Those in High School should consider attending Notre Dame Vision (NDVision). It is a week-long conference held on the Notre Dame campus where the youth are able to live in the dorms, eat awesome dorm food (no really, it's actually good!), hear amazing talks and meet other youths from around the country!
More information can be found here: http://icl.nd.edu/notre-dame-vision/learn-more/for-high-school-youth/ and keep posted for fundraising opportunities. There are also scholarships available which can be applied for here: http://icl.nd.edu/notre-dame-vision/learn-more/for-high-school-youth/emerging-leaders-scholarship/
