Helping the Homeless for the Holidays

Catholic Charities has asked us to help with yet another project, which are more than excited to help with. They are collecting toiletry items for the homeless and low income families this advent season. They are hoping to collect trial size, as well as, full size items such as shampoo. toothpaste, etc. If you're willing to help, there is a box in St. Ignatius Hall where you can drop off the items.
Thank you and Happy Advent!

Annual High School Ski Trip

It's that time again! The High School Ski Trip will be Jan. 30- Feb. 1, 2009. We ski at Winterplace in West Virginia. All forms were passed out to every interested student last week. There are more forms in the back of church in the youth ministry box. All deposits are due by the end of November. This is always a huge hit and so much fun! You can check out last years ski trip in a previous post on this blog. If you have any questions, please email me at hjeffcoat1@aol.com

Jr. High Youth Rally Update!

We had a great time at the Jr. High Youth Rally last weekend! The theme was All Access! We learned that we have all access to God all the time. No matter what! Here are some pictures from the day!

Please Pray for Daniel Douglas!

For those of you who have not yet heard, Daniel Douglas, son of Dan and Ann, was involved in a very serious car accident last night. He is at Richland Memorial in very critical condition. Please pray for Daniel's healing, as well as, the family's peace during this time.
We are holding a prayer service tonight (Monday) at 7pm here at Our Lady of the Lake for Daniel. The whole community is welcome. Please spread the word!

Website for updates on Matthew Silvermans condition....

Matthew's parents, Dona & Stu have made a website through http://www.caringbridge.com/ with updates on Matthew. Under website name type in matthewsilverman {no spaces} and you can view their updates, as well as, sign the guestbook. I encourage you all to share your wishes and prayers with them. I know it means so much to them right now!

Jr. High Lock In will be RESCHEDULED!

Well, that pesky rain ruined our plans for tonight. I just called the Maize Quest people and they were in the process of calling all their groups to reschedule for tonight. I'm so sorry about that everyone, but it's one of those things that's out of my hands.
We will reschedule for Fri., Nov. 7th {in 2 weeks}. I will keep all forms on file and just change the date/ If your young person is not able to go on the 7th, please email me { hjeffcoat1@aol.com } and let me know and I'll get you a refund.
Again, I'm sorry to everyone. I was looking forward to this, too, but it happens every now and then!
I'll see you all on Sunday night!
Hope
