LENT
Last Wednesday, we celebrated Ash Wednesday and started the season of Lent. Last weekend's gospel gave a little bit of the "origin story" for 40 days for Lent and shared the story of Jesus' temptation in the desert. Below, find a favorite video that reminds us of the story all over again.

LENT - ONE DAY AT A TIME
Throughout Lent, we are reminding you to visit, every day, our youth ministry facebook page! There, throughout this Lenten season, we will be tagging a daily micro-podcast to which we invite you to give a listen. Katie Prejean McGrady and Tommy McGrady offer realistic and engaging spiritual guidance for Lent that includes timely topics for teens such as relationships, being your best, competition, control, fear, and forgiveness. If you haven't started yet, you still catch catch-up here!

FAITH FORMATION SCHEDULE
Classes will resume with a new three-part series this weekend Saturday - Sunday, March 16 - 17. We will begin our Senior High discussion entitled Otherworldly. Jesus wants to start something new every time you walk through the doors of the church for Mass. Otherworldly is about encountering Jesus in the Mass and being transformed. This weekend, we will look at Same Wavelength is to introduce Jesus as the living sacrament, who we can encounter concretely in the Mass, and provide the teens an opportunity to deepen their relationship with Him.
Also, the 7th and eighth-graders will approach The Finish Line which involves living a life with the Sacraments as part of our life journey towards heaven. This weekend, we will look at Running Backwards and seek to come to a better understanding of conversion and the grace given through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Our remaining calendar,
> Saturday - Sunday, March 23 - 24 Classes Meet
> Saturday - Sunday, March 30 - 31 Classes Meet
> Sunday, April 7 Closing meeting for all classes

PARENTS:
> Many teens and young adults who are tackling school, extracurricular activities, social media, and their own high expectations, find themselves overwhelmed, often depressed and wondering how to handle it all. In Howard County, from 2014-2016 suicide was the number one cause of death for teens age 15-19. In a podcast from Howard County College's Dragon Digital Radio, we'll hear from the mother of a Howard County girl who died by suicide and the lead clinician from Grassroots' Mobile Crisis Team about teen mental health, suicide and resources available to help.
