Hello everyone!

Welcome to our Youth Ministry page. Friends and friends-to-be our young ministry is starting slowly but surely and plans on fun things to do this Summer are in progress. Among some of the ideas are: going to the beach for a mini-retreat, checking out the new movies being released, going out into nature at our local parks, and hanging out with each other and new people. So much goes on around L.A. that we will have many opportunities to have fun and also to share our faith and our experiences with one another.

What makes Blessed Sacrament’s Youth Ministry great and inspiring is the energy and commitment of its members. Not to mention they’re really fun to hang out with. I feel blessed to have a place where I can go and be with people that love God, and everything God does daily.

Our members range from 12 to 17 years of age. The Ministry also has the support of new adults (18+ year old members) who were recently Confirmed here at BSC, and us older folks who are committed to the well-being of the teenagers in our community.

To find out more, come join us at one of our upcoming events or e-mail me at pedro.marroquin@yahoo.com

Here’s what’s coming up:

5/24/08 Participation in Corpus Christi – This event is FREE!

We will be part of the procession at the beginning of the Corpus Christi
celebration that will take place Saturday, May 24, 2008 at 6pm. If you
would like to join us, you will find us in the pews just in front and behind the
Gifts. We will be wearing our dark blue Youth Ministry T-Shirts. Feel free to
come in dark blue too : ). Why come? To meet others who care about God as
much as you do and to find out more about our hopes for the Parish and how you
can become a part of the effort.

6/15/08 Meeting Jesus at the Movies – This event is FREE!

I expect this will be as cool as it sounds : ). Come and meet with Jesus at our
Church on Sunday, June 15, 2008 at 7pm-8:30pm. Sister Rose will present us
with a variety of clips from movies and offer suggestions on how to make going
to the movies a spiritual experience. I can’t wait! To join us, please e-mail me
your name and phone number to pedro.marroquin@yahoo.com and let me know
if you’re bringing a friend(s). I hope to meet you there!

And… Recycling!

We are currently starting a Recycling Project here at Blessed Sacrament. It should be up and running in the next couple of weeks. So come back often to our Blogs (Subscribe to this blog - the link is on the column at the right —> ) to learn more about it. The idea is to collect recyclables (cans, water bottles, glass, etc.) around the Church grounds on Sundays and to ask the community to donate any recyclables they have from home (also can be dropped off to us on Sundays, the time and place will be posted later). The funds raised will enable our Ministry to offer more free events (fun ones and spiritual ones) to the teens in our community. Remember us the next time you think of tossing a soda can in the trash : ). Thank you for your support!

New events/activities will be added soon. So come back and start saving these dates on your calendar as they come up. Thank you for your interest and support

God bless and Happy Pentecost!
