Anchored Youth Ministry

I am contemplating closing down this blog and moving all our forms and links to St. Peter's website and using email & the remind app as a means of communicating new or changing information. My reasons are 1) not many people are following this blog and 2) it is going to get confusing as confirmation ceases to be a part of the high school program. Since you are reading this, you obviously do follow this blog... I would appreciate your feedback on the proposed change. Thanks. Colleen

Happy New Year & Merry Christmas (it is still Christmas for another week)! I hope everyone had a wonderful break. As we ease back into the second half of the school year, I wanted to remind you what is happening with Anchored youth ministry... 1) If you're interested in going to the March for Life with Sandusky Life Teen, forms are due Jan 8th and can be found here . 2) Our next youth night is this Sunday 1/7, starting with Mass at 5pm. We are having some very special guests this week, so you won't want to miss it. 3) Koinonia planning starts next Monday 1/8 from 7-9pm in the library. Confirmed 10, 11 and 12 grade students are welcome to join us.

The annual March for Life trip is coming up Jan 18-20. St. Peter's usually partners with a few other local parishes to fill a bus. Unfortunately, that trip fell through this year. However, Sandusky LifeTeen is happy to take any of our teens who still want to go. Their trip is a little longer, with two nights in a hotel (still only miss 1 day of school though). Please  click here for information and registration, which is due by Jan 8th.   Sorry for the inconvenience.
