Youth Ministry for the Diocese of Saskatoon

I'm sorry to say I've had to make the call to cancel the planned Momentum Youth Rally for Saturday, April 28th. I know that's not a popular decision, but a necessary one.

Building a Youth Friendly Community. 

This time we will focus on building a youth friendly community. But what does youth friendly mean exactly? Over the course of thisworkshop day, your Diocesan Directors in Youth Ministry will address the topic of developing a youth friendly community by:

1. Learn - basics of ym & painting the picture
2. Reflect - is your community youth friendly?
3. Involve - who do you need to involve?
4. Respond - research, organize, and 5 strategies of effective response.

This isn't a season for the weak hearted. This is a season to fast, pray, and give alms as we repent and allow room for God to draw near to us. I encourage us all to really challenge ourselves this year. Let me be clear, that success isn't the goal. It isn't about 40 days without chocolate. It is about denying ourselves chocolate to learn self-discipline, sacrifice, and give room for God's spirit to work in our lives. To empty ourselves to be FILLED with God's spirit. Now that isn't permission to not try to be successful at whatever we commit ourselves to. It is to have a right perspective on why we're doing what we are doing this Lent

Hey Everyone,

Dianne Anderson is looking for more volunteers to do prison ministry at Urban Camp. She's currently doing visits for our church on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month. 

We would need to give her full name and birth dates to get clearance, and it would be in teams of minimum 2 with Dianne until we felt comfortable to do it ourselves for an hour or 2. 

If we can get a handful more young adults we would be every couple months or so to go, and its not you alone in a cell, but praying as a group the rosary, reading scripture, leading alpha or a faith study - basically whatever you feel comfortable doing. Men and women welcome to help!

Urban Camp is men almost ready to re-enter community, some are even already working. They are good men who made mistakes, and are eager to grow in their faith. Our Lord asked us to visit the emprisoned, please consider helping out in this powerful ministry. Dianne and those involved in Restorative Justice are witnessing Christ in amazing ways, but Christ asked us all to show mercy and compassion to all.

Contact Dianne Anderson below if you're interested!

Sometimes in life we get all caught up with presents, baking, parties, and decorating we forget what we're preparing to celebrate. So as a litle help to reflect, here's some neat videos to get your back to the reason for the season. It is very easy and with good intentions to get swept up and feel overwhelmed this season. I encourage you all as families to take a moment each day to be still and know the peace, hope, love and joy found in Christ, Emmanuel- God with us.
