Bill Johnson Sunday Night

Bill Johnson is one of those amazing people that you just want to hear talk... talk about anything.... just keep talking. I have heard Deacon Bill talk on many occasions and I will frequently search him out at a conference just to absorb some of his energy to keep me going.

This Sunday after the 6 pm Teen-Sponsored Mass Deacon Bill Johnson will join us as our next guest speaker in our series. He will be here to help us through the stressful holiday season as we learn to cope with our families, the stress, and just maybe come out a stronger person for it.

Both parents and teens are invited to this event.
If you have any extra pop hanging around your house please feel free to donate it to the Youth Ministry that evening. Thanks.

See you on Sunday!

NCYC 2007 - WOW!!!

"Wow" I think is an understatement. I don't really think that there are words to describe the energy and electricity that flies around a sold out 20,000 seat arena. Okay, so maybe you have been at a sold out arena but have you ever attended a Liturgy in a 20,000 seat arena, 90% high school teens and 10% their crazy chaperones? Definitely a surreal experience. Hopefully you will join me in Kansas City in 2009 for the next NCYC and experience it yourself.

Check out our pictures on snapfish. You'll get some sence of the size and scope of this extreme Catholic experience. Maybe Vicki, Carolyn, Maggie, or Elliot can explain it better. If you guys are reading this please post a comment. Alright? Ok?

I think that is the correct link. If it asks for a password it is my favorite movie food.
