“See what love the Father has bestowed on us, that we may be called children of God.”
–1 John 3:1

At the core of our being is a desire for meaningful connection and authentic relationship. We long to love and be loved, but how often do we just feel lonely?

As we search for ways to escape these feelings of isolation, there comes a small, quiet whisper that pierces through to the depths of our heart: “You are never alone, because you are Mine.”

This summer, over 50,000 Catholic teens across North America will attend one of 24 Steubenville Youth Conferences to encounter the God who calls us His sons and daughters. Come and experience His overwhelming love for you. You belong here.

Teens from St. Charles and St. Joseph-St. Mary will attend the Steubenville Youth Conference from July 12-14, 2019. Registration is open to YM3 & parishioner families through April 15th. After that, any open spots still available will be offered to other teens from the community who would like to attend. Cost for the conference is $150.00. $75.00 is required to reserve your teens spot. The remaining $75.00 is due before the conference. Parents are asked to fill out the online Steubenville Expectations form, the online Steubenville Registration and Waiver form, and the Steubenville Liability form (the link to this form can be found at the bottom of the Registration and Waiver form).  Contact Natalie Klackle with any questions at nklackle@saintscjm.com.

In a continuing effort to be as transparent as possible, Bishop Walkowiak has taken time to create a video message for the faithful of the Diocese of Grand Rapids ahead of the worldwide meeting of bishops at the Vatican. The worldwide meeting, which will gather presidents of bishops’ conferences from around the world to discuss the clergy sexual abuse scandal and our global response as a Catholic Church will take place from Feb. 21 – 24. The video addresses the meeting and some of the frequently asked questions he has received from parishioners.
