We took our Youth Ministry Teens to the annual Frightfest last night and they had a blast! We are working hard in our parish to do things for and with our young people, to help them have a great experience of church and to give them memories that will help them to remain faithful as they enter into young adulthood. This is no easy task today, in the society and world we are living in.
It is important to recognize God's love in the fun times of life, as well as in the spiritual opportunities we offer and experience and the service projects we do together.
I thank God for the opportunity to know, to work with and to offer life-giving and lasting opportunities to our teens. It is definitely worth the effort. I wonder if our parents realize how important it is to do things with their children, despite the effort it may take. They are only young once, and their childhood will be something they will look back upon often. 'Tis something to think about! !
