Story of the Month
I was recently in a Catholic Book Store, and saw a Mother Teresa Prayer card, which reminded me of one of our leaders, Julia. I grabbed it to give to her, but forgot the intention. Later that day, she and another HS participant were grabbing some prayer cards, when Julia randomly grabbed the one of Mother Teresa: "I LOVE Mother Teresa!" she said, "can I have it?" At that I remarked affirmatively, informing her how it had reminded me of her and how I had intended for her to have it, to which she replied that Mother Teresa is her Confirmation Saint. The power of intercessory prayer! Your saints chase after you and want to be with you in your journey to Christ, are you letting them?
We are Young, we are Joyful, we are Love, we are Catholic, we are Home!
Question of the month:
God has come into your life, how can you meet him?
Song of the Month:
"Winter Snow"

Saint of the Season:
St. Joseph
Patron Saint of the Universal Church, Patron Saint of our new Ministry Center!!
To you, O Blessed Joseph, we come in our trials, and having asked the help of your most holy spouse, we confidently ask your patronage also. Through that sacred bond of charity which united you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the fatherly love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you to look graciously upon the beloved inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased by his blood, and to aid us in our necessities with your power and strength.
