From the Youth Minister

Greetings to all!

Family Fun Night: Our second Family Fun Night is TONIGHT, Wednesday, Aug. 18 from 6:00-7:30pm on the North Lawn (corners of Drew & Washington Streets). The forecast is looking sunny, warm, and gorgeous, so we will be outside. Plan to bring your own water bottle - snacks will be provided. We'll be playing games on the lawn - be ready to move!

Masking Update for Youth Ministry Events: As of this email, masks are mandatory for anyone not fully vaccinated and optional for those who are fully vaccinated WHEN OUTDOORS ONLY. If we are INDOORS, ALL MUST MASK, regardless of vaccination status. This is an extra precaution we are taking due to the highly contagious Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus. Thank you for your flexibility as we continue to navigate ever-changing circumstances.​

Remember, "Fully Vaccinated" currently means ONE dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine or TWO doses of either Moderna or Pfizer​ vaccine and two weeks following the 2nd shot. Some immunocompromised individuals may now require a 3rd shot for full vaccination status - please talk to your health care provider for more information. If you or your child(ren) are experiencing any COVID-19-type symptoms or have had a fever within the 24 hours prior to the event, please stay home. Thank you.

​2021-2022 School Year Update: At this time, I am still working with Fr. Christopher to determine what will be the best course of action for formation classes in the upcoming school year. Due to the Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus, we will resume ONLINE-ONLY gatherings for ​the month of September, and we will keep families in the loop about possible in-person options for October and beyond.

Sunday School will resume from 9:30-10:00am via Zoom on Sunday, September 12 and is open to grades 4K-12. Links & calendars will be sent out the first week of September.

Youth Group will resume from 7:00-7:45pm via Zoom on Wednesday, September 15 and is open to grades 5-12. Links & calendars will be sent out the first week of September.
