We made it through our youth rallies (over 1500 in attendance) and are now in the midst of Advent. I pray that all of you are able to find quiet time each day to prepare for the coming of Christ. If you want a daily dose for Advent, you should check out some cool online Catholic Advent Calendars.
As far as upcoming events, we have a lot going on.
Winter D-Camp - There are still spots open for our first ever Winter D-Camp. You can get a registration form here. We are praying for LOTS of snow so that we can use some of snow game ideas. The counselor line-up we have is incredible. Many of the counselors from past D-Camp's and Totus Tuus teams will be there to help out!
March For Life Pilgrimage - We are very close to full, but can probably get you in if you register soon. We will be taking a full bus to Washington D.C. to participate in a march with hundreds of thousands of other pro-life advocates.
Pilgrimage to Italy - There is still room on this trip. In fact, if you are an adult reading this, know that you are invited to come even if youth in your parish are not able to come. Just give Mary Andersen a call at 988-3766.
Lastly, we have been trying to use our Facebook page more and more. If you do not "like" us on there yet, please do so now! You can find our page here.
You will not hear from me again until after Christmas, so I pray that you and families have a blessed Christmas with safe travel. Most importantly, remember to remind yourself daily what this season is all about. Prepare yourself in hopeful anticipation for the coming of our Lord, not just at Christmastime but at the end of time as well.
In Christ,
Eric Gallagher
