  • Youth Group continues to meet this summer
    June 26, 2018
    Our Tri-Parish Youth Group took on a new look this year as BSA Venture Crew 9989. This transition was in progress for the last year of Fr. Jeff Lewis’ time with us, and it has gone very well. We are now a Junior High - through age 21 program. Two of our boys completed the Confirmation formation and were confirmed in May, and we have another participant who is considering becoming Catholic. The Venture Crew is open to any area youth. In addition to the Catholic formation delivered through two video series from Ascension Press, we are also planning a “high adventure” canoe trip in August. We continue to meet (most) Sundays from 5-8 pm. We prepare dinner together, play games, plan adventures and learn about our faith. Questions? Call Lori Larsen at 509-675-4491.
