- We took another crew out to do the Labre project on Dec. 18th to give food and much-needed companionship to the hungry during the Christmas season.
- Our Young Adult Retreat had almost 40 attendees. It was a very blessed weekend, and everyone left refreshed to return to work or college with a renewed focus on eliminating the superfluities to let God back in our lives.
- Our life nights summarized the semester on morality, reviewing important lessons on the commandments, chastity, and dating.
2. Life Teen this month
- The March for Life is a great opportunity to see the universal Church, ecumenism, faithful citizenship, and social justice all at work at the same time. January 21-22 we'll be taking a bus to D.C. for the annual Pro-Life Rally. It is an unforgettable experience. More info at www.basilteen.com.
- 1/10 Life Night on Vocations

- Our weekly teen discussion group has moved locations to the newly renovated Annex, which is the small ranch home in the corner of St. Basil's property. It is clearly labeled "Annex", and the time is still the same from 7:30-8:30 p.m.
3. A few victories for God - God is winning, one victory at a time.
- More and more teenagers are joining religiously themed causes on facebook.
- A teen wanted to share her joy for God with others so she volunteered to do St. Basil’s door-to-door campaign. She was by far the youngest person volunteering and had incredible things to say about what Life Teen and St. Basil’s has done for her over the past 2 years.
- At the 5:30 Life Teen mass on Sundays you will see the participation of the teenagers through lectoring, ushering, greeting, and being extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion.
4. Parent website of the month - Watch this video and see how you can help protect your home and family from the dangers that await them with a few clicks of the mouse.
5. Please support our teens with prayer and through the monthly Life Teen envelope. Our ministry of leading teens closer to Christ can't be accomplished without your help and generosity!
