If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve.
~Mother Teresa
Each June the Catholic Youth Apostolate’s Office of Youth Ministry offers a service retreat for teens. This year “Project Life” is taking place in the St. Charles County area from June 9 to June 15. Over one hundred teens and their leaders are participating in the retreat which gathers teens from various backgrounds to be transformed by the Gospel call to love one another through service to those in need. Throughout the course of the week, teens (aka "Feet Washers") will come to know and recognize Jesus Christ in themselves and in the people they serve. Through spiritual programming, great music, hard work, and good times Project Life has become an awesome event that allows Christ to speak and work through them in ways they would never have imagined!
Please keep these teens and their adult leaders in your prayers this week. We ask you to pray, too, for the many youth and their leaders who are serving the St. Louis community for the next two weeks in Christ Power Retreats.

The National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry has announced a new patch program called the "Catholic Identity Patch Program." The Catholic Identity program is a religious activity program intended for girls grades 1 through 12 (but is open to all youth) and encourages them to learn more about their faith, to serve their community, and to grow in holiness.
