Congratulations to our
Graduating Class of 2008
Graduation Blessing
Each of you is a unique creation,
blessed by God with life,
a person called in love to grow,
and to share your gifts with
others.
We rejoice in who you are for us.
As an important part of our parish family, you are the church of today, and you are the church of the future.
May God continue to bless you and challenge you.
May you always be surrounded
by people who support and love you.
May you grow more fully into the man or woman that God wants you to be, and that the world so desperately needs.
May your graduation day and all of your days be filled with happiness, peace and love.
We ask this today, in hope and expectation that God will continue the great things already begun in you.
And we ask for God's blessings upon you,
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen

Our next Young Adult Faith Sharing and Welcome Night will be held in the St. Gerald library (96th & Q) on April 24th at 7 pm. The topic will be "The Incorruptibles." If you haven't come before, we'd love to have your ideas for future activities!

Youth Serve
What is it? Youth Serve is an overnight service-learning program especially designed for teams of adults and young adolescents going into the 8th and 9th grades.
When is it? Sunday through Tuesday, July 13-15, or July 27-29, 2008.
Where is it? The College of St. Mary and service sites in the Omaha area.
Why Youth Serve? This is a great way to supplement service hours if you are in our Confirmation program, or to continue Christian service as a lifestyle for those who have just been Confirmed. Youth Serve provides engaging learning experiences based on the life of Jesus and Catholic Social teaching, while meeting other kids from all over the city.
How do I sign up?
If you are interested, please talk to Kathy Kensinger or Becca Ramm. We have scholarships available to help defray the costs.
Spaces are filling up fast, so please apply as soon as possible if you are interested in attending.
