High School Youth Group EventsHSYG MEETINGS FOR 2020: NO YOUTH MEETINGS DURING HOLY WEEK (4/5-4/12) NEXT HSYG MEETING: Sunday, April 19th at 7pm! High School Youth Group thru ZOOM! Join us Sunday, April 19th at 7pm for fellowship. See our faces in this time of social distancing!! We'll gather together virtually and connect to talk about God and life and how we're dealing with everything. We'll send out the website and other information later this week so you can log on. POT LUCK! (lol) Bring a snack or dinner to "share" on the livestream *Remember to log on to FB Live every morning (if you can! Maybe through a parents' account?) at 9am to watch Father Andy celebrate Daily Mass - it's only about 1/2 an hour. While we are at this time unable to partake of Christ's body and blood, we can still be close with our Church community and to the Faith. Jesus wants us to worship together and although we can pray by ourselves, we get strength from being with other likeminded people. ********************************* ********************************* SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATIONMs. Ginny Dauses is leading our students in the Sacrament of Confirmation.
They typically meet on Sundays after the 5 pm Youth Mass (usually 1st Sunday of the month) in Unity Hall. This is subject to change based on current and forthcoming restrictions. Please stay tuned! Upcoming Meeting Dates are: - May 3 *As of right now, Confirmation Mass is still on Saturday, May 30th at 10am here at Holy Family Catholic Church. We are still preparing for a May 30 Confirmation. We heard from Archbishop Lori's secretary, Fr. Bianco, that the Confirmation Mass is still on the Archbishop's calendar and that we should hold the date. Given how quickly things have been changing and that we don't know how long shutdowns and limitations for gatherings will last, we are going to be prepared for a May 30 Confirmation or to have the sacrament at a later date. WE WILL NOTIFY YOU OF ANY CHANGES!! In the meantime, now is a GREAT time to work on your Letters To The Bishop!! Writing a letter to the bishop who will celebrate the Mass is important to the candidate's request to be confirmed. Attached below is a document that contains instructions and a template for this letter to the bishop. Please take some time and be thoughtful about what you write. We will read the letter at Holy Family and then pass on all the candidates' letters to the bishop together. And yes, Archbishop Lori will read them also. We need the letters completed by Monday, April 13. Please submit them by email to youthministry@hfccmail.org or mail them to the church. **We will contact you at a later date concerning interviews for Confirmation and our remaining meetings.** Questions? Email youthministry@hfccmail.org or fill out the contact form below. We'd love to hear from you!!
