Join us on the 3rd Thursday of the month beginning on 10/21/21. In an age of “selfies” and egocentrism, YOU cuts through the noise to present an authentic view of the human person. It presents young people with the extraordinary story of their creation as unrepeatable individuals. But the program doesn’t stop there. YOU. Life, Love, and the Theology of the Body introduces teens to the truth that life is not, in fact, all about them; it is about going out of themselves to be a sincere gift for others. Work through this beautiful program with your teen(s) in the comfort of your home and then join us for our parent sup- port meetings on the 3rd Thursday of the month. Talk through each chapter sharing the joys and struggles of learning how to talk with your teens about these topics. Email Andreya Arevalo at aarevalo@scd.org to receive the Zoom link for the meetings.

We need help in procuring plants and flowers for church decoration. We are grateful for your generosity.

Being baptized and confirmed do not end just there. We are not just passive Christians but are expected to be active Christians. Do you remember the parable of the talents? God is expecting us to make use of those talents and not just keep or bury them on the ground. We are called to grow in our faith by our participation in the work evangelization. One of the ways in which we can do this is to join a ministry or two to bear fruits in our faith. It would be a blessing on our part and also on the church. It is a way of serving the church and God too. Whatever we re- ceived as a blessing, we return it as a blessing too in the ministries.

On the first page of this bulletin you can find the different areas of the ministry of our church. Find one that befits your charisma and call the respective chairperson to join.
