Welcome to the Blessed Sacrament Youth Ministry
Upcoming EventsAll Youth Ministry activities have been postponed.
Youth Ministry Environmental Project
It is with a grateful heart that, during this time of unprecedented uncertainty, I am able to share some positive news for our parish. I wrote a proposal for an evangelization grant for Youth Ministry and recently learned that it was approved. We will use the funding to create parish-wide projects aimed at supporting Pope Francis’ environmental efforts as expressed in his encyclical, Laudato si'.
Fr. Foley has asked our Youth Ministry students to lead parishioners in answering the Pope’s call to “acknowledge the urgency of our environmental challenges and to join him in 'embarking on a new path.'”
Our first environmental evangelization project, completed on March 14th was building and installing compost bins in the yard of the rectory and on the grounds of the Parish Center. You can see photos here.
The compost will be used to fertilize gardens on the parish grounds. The bins will be filled by those in the rectory and the Parish Center, and the maintenance will be coordinate by Youth Ministry students.
Even as we’re remaining in our homes and practicing social distancing, we can use our time to begin composting. You can learn more here.
Art and Faith During LentA few weeks ago, some of our Youth Ministry students used a canvas, paint and their creativity to take a new look at this season of spiritual renewal. Their work was scheduled to be displayed later this month, but the showing was postponed as all parish events have been canceled. Here’s a look at a few of the paintings:
Stations of the Cross Reenactment
On Friday, March 6, our Youth Ministry performed a reenactment of the Stations of the Cross, which was designed to give the young people of our parish and opportunity to learn about Christ’s journey in a format that was created especially for them. Parish families who will miss an opportunity experience the Lenten tradition of praying the Stations might enjoy some of the scenes from our recent reenactment here or this multimedia presentation from Loyola Press.
