Throughout the year, Lisa will update her database and assemble a
directory of teens participating in the Youth Program, so your prompt
response to this short questionnaire is a must! This will allow the
participants and their parents to provide Lisa with information that
will help her to design a program which will meet the needs of our
teenage parishioners. Please take the time to complete your registration
here online. This is an excellent opportunity for our youth to REJOICE &
REJOIN..
