LEAD will take place July 9-13 at Franciscan University, and finishes with the main Steubenvilleconference. If your teen is interested in LEAD, please have them talk to Miranda or I as soon as possible, as there is an application process that needs to be completed by March 30.
If you have any questions, please let Miranda or me know. Your families are in our prayers!

Survey about Reducing Announcements and Presentations at the End of Mass
I hate announcements! How about you? Who would like to have fewer announcements and fewer presentations at Mass? If we can be confident we can accomplish effective communication through other channels, over time we can reduce announcements and presentations. See the bulletin for March 11th for the top 8 ways to keep informed on what is going on in our parish community. We want to hear from you regarding your preferred ways to receive communication in lieu of announcements and presentations by way of a survey.
