Food for the Poor wishes to thank you for the welcome you extended to Fr. Vernon Arseneau on our recent visit to your parish. On behalf of our brothers and sisters throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, we thank you for your compassion and care. We are all blessed by and grateful for your generosity.

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.
