Winter is Approaching Quickly

I pray that your fall semester is going well and that your teachers are taking good care of you.  Please pray for them as the days get darker and darker.  I know for me it is always difficult to stay focused when the weather is not so nice.

Our rallies finished up this past weekend and they were a huge success.  There were over 1300 people attend the rallies.   It is always a blessing to see so many from the Diocese come together.

Now we are gearing up for two new events that have never been done in our Diocese before.

Winter D-Camp

Our first ever Winter D-Camp will be December 28-30.   There are still a few spots left and applications can be found online.  I have started making plans for camp and am getting the counselors lined up.  We have tons of great young adults ready to help, many of them are past D-Camp counselors and Totus Tuus team members.  

March For Life Pilgrimage

We will be heading the Washington D.C. to the annual March for Life in January.  With this trip we join hundreds of thousands of people as they march the streets of our nations capital to send a message of the passion we have for life.  The trip is geared towards high school youth but anyone can go. There are still some spots left for this as well.  Please call our office if you have any questions.  Many youth are being sponsored by their parish or local Knights of Columbus chapter as a representative for their parish.

Lastly, I wanted to invite you to sign up for the Pilgrimage to Italy.  We have posted the Itinerary on the website for this trip.  If you are a youth and wanting to go, please give me a call if you need some ideas on how you can fundraise for the trip.  It will take some work, but I guarantee it is well worth it.  We have a great crew signed up so far.

In the next week or two, we do hope to open up the trip to more than just high school youth.  Please contact Eric if you are interested as an adult or junior high youth and he can give you more information.

Have a great November!
