6:00pm - 7:30pm Many Catholics have experienced the pain of having to watch their children, spouse, siblings or god-child drift away from the Catholic Church. They've felt helpless and un-equipped in their attempts to bring them back. You are not alone and there is hope!

This youth night 6th grade will attend part 1 of Called to Protect. Every parish in the Austin diocese is required to present this program each year to 6th & 9th grade. Called to Protect is a program which provides abuse prevention education to middle and high school students; helping these young people understand their sacredness as they learn about boundaries and ways to help protect themselves from harm. It is not sexuality education, but safety education. This program will be led by Carol Wiggins, who has been trained by the diocese to teach this program. Youth are not required to attend, but it is greatly encouraged! If your child is in 6th grade and you would prefer them not to attend Called to Protect, please request a waiver.

The night opens with a short talk on growing in faith/prayer before moving into a time of Adoration with praise and worship. Learn more at encounterbcs.org

Since this is a retreat weekend, we have decided not to have a youth night this weekend. We would instead love to encourage all youth to attend our service retreat and bring their friends. This retreat is an overnight retreat on April 20th & 21st. During this retreat, we will give back to the community and perform service projects at different site in the Bryan/College Station area. During this retreat we will also have Mass, games, and lots of fun! We will be joined by youth from St. Anthony's, Brenham, and Caldwell. Hope to see you all there!
