Here at OLG our High School Youth Ministry (anyone who has been confirmed in 8th-12th grade) is meant to engage young people where they are at in their journey to respond to the ultimate call of all of our lives: the call to be an intentional disciple of God.

LifeNight's are a mixture of faith and fun, and are open to everyone who is in high school!
Our next LifeNight is April 10th!
At this weeks LifeNight,we learn more about signs and symbols. Where do these signs come from? Where do they get their meaning? The Church teaches that the meaning comes from four categories: creation, human culture, the Old Testament and they are fully revealed in the mission of Christ narrated for us in the New Testament. The sacramental system depends on signs that are perceptible. Every created thing has the impression of God, the Divine Artisan.

FROM THE MODERATOR OF THE CURIA
The Touch of the Master’s Hand
From Father Charles Lachowitzer
I recently was rummaging through some old books, re-examining the value of a personal library since the internet has the library of the world. Shelves of books are now but a pebble on the mountain of information available on my phone.
One book was marked with a laminated card, one of many bookmarks I’ve received over the years. On it was a poem written by Myra Brooks Welch in 1921. The wording is tinged with a previous era, yet for me, its message called to mind the experience of going to confession.
Read the full column in English and Spanish in The Catholic Spirit.

CENTER FOR MISSION
Good Friday Holy Land Collection – April 19
The annual Holy Land collection which is taken up in parishes on Good Friday is especially important this year. This appeal supports the Franciscan community of the Custody of the Holy Land and their activities of nourishing poor parishes, providing formation and education, food and housing for the poor, providing humanitarian aid to refugees and more. In addition, there is a special focus on Syria within the Holy Land which has experienced the devastation and dislocation of the Catholic population due to war and violence. A portion of the collection will then be specifically identified for our partnership with the Archeparchy (Archdiocese) of Damascus, Syria. If you have questions, contact friesenm@archspm.org.
