Annual Youth Convention – April 8-9, Salina -- Join other youth from the Diocese. Be inspired by your keynote speaker, Father Chester Smith SVD, and spend time with one another. There will be plenty of music, dance, prayer, workshops, keynoters, and fun awaiting you. Sign up with a friend today to reserve your space! For more information, contact Amanda Tremblay by February 15.
Prayer and Action: The Diocese of Salina sponsors a
"Prayer and Action Mission Experience" for high school youth who are interested in helping the most needy among us—the infirm, the elderly, and the poor. The youth, closely supervised by adults, will be working on projects such as painting, minor home repairs, yard work, and other requested jobs. Each week brings in 60 students eager to work and serve. That means keeping six teams of 10 youth and their sponsors busy improving the community.
Every year they choose two lucky towns, one on the east side and one on the west side of the Diocese. Hoxie was able to host this mission in July of 2013. Now it’s our turn to help other communities! Please give your name to your small group leader or Amanda ASAP, as the diocese is already taking reservations. Reservations need to be made by March 15! Adults, if you would like to enjoy this amazing week with the youth, please let Amanda know as soon as possible!
