Youth Pilgrimage to Italy: The Year of Faith
Rockies Baseball Game: I have 20 tickets available for the Colorado Rockies game on Saturday, May 18th against the San Francisco Giants at 6:10pm. These are GREAT seats (Section 146, rows 12/13) and are $30/each (face value). If you would like to take your youth group down for a great day in Denver, please contact me! (You don’t have to take all 20 tickets!)
Discipleship Weekend: Last summer we had our first every Discipleship Week, which was a huge success! This summer we are going to offer a Discipleship Weekend, August 2nd-3rd in Green River. We will still have some great talks, fun time, and most importantly serve the elderly and poor in the Green River area. More information will be coming out soon, but I wanted to make sure you all got it on your calendar…. Oh and I did I mention we will also get to go as see Country Recording Artist Phil Vassar?
National Catholic Youth Conference: The National Catholic Youth Conference will be held Nov 21-23, 2013 in Indianapolis! NCYC gathers over 25,000 Catholic Youth from around the United States for a weekend of Keynotes, prayer, liturgy and a celebration of our Catholic Faith. We are in the process of putting information together for the Diocesan Trip (which we are estimating now to be around $750/person) and I will get that information sent out by the beginning of May. If you think you might want to try and get a group of your youth to NCYC would you please let me know in the next couple of weeks for planning purposes. It is not a commitment by any means, I am just trying to get a feel on what the interest is in the Diocese.
Diocese of Cheyenne Hoodies: For WYD in Spain, we created a Diocese of Cheyenne youth logo and hoodie for the pilgrims. Well the youth logo, and the hoodies have become a hit so we have used them in different color for every event since then. They have grown in popularity and demand, so we have ordered some Kelly Green hoodies to sell. They are $40/each and are available by contacting me. (They are pictured below)
Christ in the City: The youth modeling the hoodies are actually the participants in this year’s Christ in the City Holy Week pilgrimage. It once again was truly an amazing experience where our youth encountered the Living Christ. If you are looking for a Mission Trip, Weekend Experience or some other type of experience for your youth, please feel free to contact them. They truly are amazing young adults who are great witnesses to living the Gospel with their lives. Every time I am around them I am more and more inspired by their organization and their ministry. They truly are making a difference in the lives of the homeless and poor in Denver.
