1. Life Teen last month
- We had over 200 teens have a blast at our annual hayride.
- We had a life night on Moral Relativism, which the Pope has called one of the greatest struggles of our time. We combatted the idea "what's okay or true for you might not be true for me", and the popular line, "Don't impose your values on me". Showing that there are things that are objectively right and wrong had to serve as a basis for this semester on Morality.
- One of our Social Justice life nights gave the teens the opportunity to sign up for local service projects, including feeding the homeless of Cleveland.
- Our life night on Dating gave a good balanced view of the subject, showing the pros, cons, and delineating Catholic principles with which to approach dating if one chooses to do so in high school.
2. Life Teen this month
- Our weekend retreat is this weekend! Please pray for our teenagers as God makes every effort to break into their lives.
- Nov. 15th the life night will be an XLT Praise and Worship session with music, a speaker, and Eucharistic Adoration. When we say we are leading teens closer to Christ, we mean it literally.
- On Nov. 29th we'll have a life night discussing the main points of the first 3 Commandments.
3. A few victories for God - God is winning, one victory at a time.
- While on our ASP summer service project, two teen girls vocalized that they're discerning a call to religious life.
- One of our Core members told a couple teen guys that they should attend the prayer service for seminarians, and was excited to see one of them sitting right up front when the service began. The Core member spoke to him for a while afterwards about being open to what God is calling him to do with his life.
