Clean up day at Christ the King!

This past Saturday the youth group met at the Church in order to work on cleaning up outside in preparation for the coming MSJ Assembly October 25th-27th. On the agenda was cleaning up the prayer walk as well as the walk down to the waterfall. Oh, and did I mention, building up a pile for the annual bonfire! The group worked for several hours before agreeing that the walks were in good order and the pile was sufficiently stacked up to a reasonable height.

The boys got a little carried away while building up the bonfire pile. ;)

Our youngest helper of the day!

"But look, it's the perfect place to make a fort!"

And our pile is complete!!

Saint Michael's Day Weekend Trip

This past weekend our church youth group took a trip to Tullahoma, Tennessee to participate in a weekend retreat with others who attend the annual Saint Michael's Conference Midwest. The group drove down Friday afternoon and drove home Sunday afternoon after attending Mass. It was a weekend packed with prayer, fun, and a little bit of work. Over the course of the weekend they attended Benediction, Evensong for St. Michael and All Angels Day, Compline both evenings, as well as Mass on Sunday. Saturday they helped with cleaning the church they were visiting, and went to a fall festival. The youth group as a whole voted it was a weekend well spent and look forward to the coming Saint Michael's Conference Midwest 2019! For more information on the Conference contact Fr. Bob Lemmon and he will get you in touch with someone from the conference.
