They will gather in the youth house. The kids will be invited to consider what they are already experiencing when we gather for Mass and to ponder what that experience means. Mrs. Amy will lead our youth in better understanding the structure and meaning of the Mass, forming and cultivating attitudes that help them celebrate it, and developing skills that promote their “full, conscious, and active participation” in the Mass. This series is intended to serve as both a supplement and a complement to our High School Bible class which meets Sundays at 9:30 am in the youth house.
