Wait... what are virtues in the first place? How can you live a life of
virtue if you are not even really sure what virtue is?

can't find a superlative (gah!!) word that is not somehow rel
ated to a super hero lol! Anyway, join us for a SUPER night on true virtuous heroism!! :D
(The funny thing is that I didn't actually do this on purpose... as I
was typing, superhero names would just pop into my mind haha)

Edge: Are You Afraid of the Dark?? Magic and the Dangers of the Occult
Is
magic real? What about the devil? Is he an actual spiritual entity or
just a fairy tale character our parents use to coax us into doing the
right thing? What's the big deal about horoscopes, divination, quiji
boards, etc.?
If you have these or any other questions regarding evil and the occult, make sure not to miss this week's Edge night!
When is it? Friday, Oct 19, 2012, from
6:45-9:00pm (please come early for registration if you have not yet
registered for this Fall)
Remember, tokens are given for
attendance, participation and bringing new friends. Collect them and you
can exchange them for cool items, and you can also win big prizes at
the end of the year! (Last year we gave out an iPod!)

About the Youth Ministry: At LifeTeen and
Edge, youth of all backgrounds gather to:
1) Learn about and discuss interesting and important issues that affect
our life and our faith journey in a truth-focused but non-judgmental way.
2) Attend amazing events, such as field-trips, parties/socials and
retreats (which are a ton of fun!!)
3) Support each other and work on building strong life-long
friendships.
4) Receive guidance and support from great role models.
5) And most importantly, work on our relationship with Christ through
prayer, Adoration and the Sacraments!

Sometimes Mass may seem
boring, so why is it so important to go to Mass every Sunday? What is
the big deal if I skip Mass? Is the bread we receive REALLY Jesus
present, or just a symbol? Where does the belief in the Real Presence of
Christ in the Eucharist come from?
“On the Way to Bethlehem” is an outdoor Christmas Nativity Pageant. We will travel the road to Bethlehem with a “guide” and during our outdoor journey, we will witness King Herod’s court, interact with Roman soldiers, shepherds, magi, innkeepers and fellow travelers to reveal the Christmas story. At the end of our journey, we will have our "passports" stamped, and then enjoy a warm refreshment.
The most common charge non-Catholic Christians make against the Catholic Church is that the tenets of Catholicism are man-made and unbiblical. Those are serious charges, for sure. But can you refute them? Join us for our first session of LifeTeen Plus+ and learn more about how to defend your faith!!
