Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner and Auction

Tickets can be picked up at the office Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. All active youth ministry participants are expected to sell 5 tickets to fulfill one of their fundraising commitments.

There will be dancing and music by Ryan Myrda and friends. The auction always has awesome items from local stores, restaurants, and professional offices. Our local friendly leprauchan is also looking for loose change to fill his pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow.

Proceeds from this fundraiser go to help youth minsitry provide amazing programming and opportunities for teens to grow in their faith and community responsibility. Some of the teens helping out will be attending our annual summer mission trip to help those less fortunate. Other teens will be attending the Notre Dame Vision Conference where they will meet other Catholics from across the country and begin to discern where God is calling them.

So, stop on by and get your tickets today.

Sarah's favorite food is Popcorn. She could eat it for every meal. I think that she actually did once...

How can failure be good?

Yeah, failure! Thank you Lord. I can’t spell very well, I’m slightly over weight, and I cry when celebrities are in serious trouble and when they die. Thank you Lord for my short temper, passionate emotions, and my ignorance. Thank you Lord for my imperfect yet significant life. Thank you Lord for reminding me today, through these readings and through these amazing imperfections, that I am perfect in You. Thank you Lord for spell check, the money to buy food, and compassion to see celebrities as an important life created in Your image. Thank you Lord for showing me how to use my anger, emotions, and compassion to promote Your world of love and life. For teaching me to ask questions and to continue a life of learning, I thank you Lord for opening wide the door of possibilities. Woohoo, I am chosen and so are you, failures and all.
