Lent is upon us! I pray that this season of solemn preparation for Easter brings you all closer to Christ. There are a multitude of opportunities to also grow closer to our St. Luke community. Below you will find more details about those opportunities for our youth.

Here is the schedule for the next few weeks, I hope to see you soon!

Sunday 3/23: High School Ministry Small Groups! (7:00-8:30 in the Youth Center)

Lenten Small Groups: Lenten Small groups are back! We'll be working through Bishop Barron's Lenten Gospel Reflections this year, going deep into the word each day and then meeting to discuss. (https://bookstore.wordonfire.org/products/lenten-gospel-reflections-2025-individual-copy) High School Ministry will meet at regular times each Sunday, then break into small groups of 4-6 youth and 1-2 leaders. This is a great opportunity for youth to grow in their understanding and devotion to the gospel, as well as to build stronger bonds with their peers!

 

I pray that 2025 brings with it tidings of peace and hope. In keeping with the spirit of the Jubilee Year, I am looking forward in joyful anticipation of the blessings to come. As His Holiness Pope Francis so beautifully expressed it: "We must fan the flame of hope that has been given us, and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far-sighted vision." 

Blessings,

Alex P
