Hey friends!

A new formation year has arrived and we are ready for an amazing time. Below is the schedule and here are a few speacial dates to remember:

September 8th - Parish Bazaar, will need some volunteers for the children's games and the YM Pie in the Face booth.
October 27th - Parish Service Day
November 16th-17th - Jr. High Overnight Retreat, totally free, sign up below to get a permission slip

Those in 7th & 8th grades are welcome to join the St. Charles Junior High Youth Ministry. Our regular meetings are on Sunday from 10:30-11-45am. Our goal at Junior High Ministry is to grow deeper in relationship with God and our St. Charles community through reading the scriptures, learning about the liturgical year, and building a faith-filled community. 

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 8th grade 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!
