Many adults verbalize that they are worried about the faith of our young people.  Why not convert our concerns to action and share the traditions and beliefs of the Catholic Faith by volunteering to teach and guide the young people of our Parish?   Modern society spends so much time on media. I ask you to consider one hour of that time to teach catechism or volunteer with our children.  The rewards are great……. Click for more information.
