THE PARISH CONNECTION
All 8th Graders Welcome!
“I felt the Holy Spirit! --adoration was more impactful than most I have attended. I really enjoyed being with like-minded people - I felt like I was among people I could trust. -The concerts and speakers were amazing -and everything was so age appropriate. I felt included and wanted to be involved.”
