Message from John |
|
Hi
All:
It
is hard to believe it has been almost a week since
our last get together. Patty and I are excited
about these Friday nights, as our discussions and
reflections are most certainly enriching our faith
lives.
After the meeting we got some feedback and hope to
incorporate some of the following into our future
FAFF sessions.
-
Gather at
6:45-7PM
-
Share in a
simple pot luck dinner
-
Get underway
with discussion and prayer by
7:45PM
-
Conclude at
about
9PM, with the
option of some or all staying longer
-
Allow more time
for prayer toward the end of the meeting
Finally, please let us know if you will be able to
attend. And please invite a friend to join us. God
Bless!

Hi and
welcome!
If you are a young adult, that is a person roughly
between the age of 20 and 40+ you might be
interested in our new ministry... But in all
honesty, all are welcome! Married, single,
religious, man and woman...What matters the most
is that we are young in heart. Well we are just
beginning - We need your help and ideas. The only
requirement is that you bring a smile, some
enthusiasm, plenty of desire to know other people
and to grow in faith.
† Fr.
Tomasz
We
meet once a month on Fridays for faith sharing and
fellowship.

"Young adult Catholics are legion. Statistical surveys
indicate as much. Yet when I step over the threshold of
my parish church, I see very few of my peers. This
always disheartens me. Where have they gone? Why aren’t
they here?" [taken from "Staying Catholic at
Twenty-Something."] FOR OUR NEXT MEETING
LET'S READ THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE FROM AMERICA MAGAZINE:
"STAYING CATHOLIC AT TWENTY-
SOMETHING." by Karla Manternach
----------------------------------------------------------------
READING SUGGESTION DEUS CARITAS EST...
GOD IS LOVE - The first encyclical of Pope Benedict on
love... CHECK IT OUT...
DEUS CARITAS EST
“God is love,
and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides
in him” (1
Jn 4:16). These words from the
First Letter of John express with remarkable
clarity the heart of the Christian faith: the Christian
image of God and the resulting image of mankind and its
destiny. In the same verse, Saint John also offers a
kind of summary of the Christian life: “We have come to
know and to believe in the love God has for us”.
Full text of the encyclical |
...............................................................................................
Our HOPE is
to bring together a dynamic of Catholic Young
Adults (between the ages of 20 & 40+) in a safe,
open and friendly environment, sharing our
faith, interacting with each other and the
community.
