Topic Night / Drop In: Moral Values

A Gallup poll just released shows that despite a majority of Americans being proud of their country and satisfied with their overall quality of life, they are not positive about the state of the nation's moral values. In fact 81% say the state of moral values is only fair or poor and 77% say the state of moral values is getting worse. What is the deal? Come tell us what you think and join us for an open discussion. Following the discussion we will have a drop in with refreshments, games, etc. This will be held in the youth center.

Youth & Family Night at the Stadium You and your family are asked to join us as the Baltimore Orioles play the Angels at Camden Yards. The game starts at 7:05 p.m. Upper reserve tickets are $20.00. There will be fireworks immediately following the game and every fan will receive the Oriole Park 25th anniversary poster. We have 150 tickets on hold in section 322. To purchase tickets send in your money with the form attached. You can turn it in at any youth group event or drop it by the parish office. The deadline to purchase tickets is July 16. Tickets limited so reserve early.

Friday, August 18 7:05 p.m.
