Apologies for not updating the blog lately- The youth group has been very busy in planning and participating in World Vision's 30 Hour Famine. The Even took place March 7-8. We had a group of about 25 kids- not eating for 30 hours to raise money for the poor and hungry throughout the world. Sleeping in the parish hall friday night, we took part in various activities, both fun and spiritual including: stations of the cross, adoration, confessions, candle-light service, talk by Deacon John, World Vision speaker, lunch and rosary with the Seniors at palace view, and putting together Easter food baskets for needy families in our community. It was a great event- Many thanks to Mrs. Barlow Hansen for all her hard work and dedication in organizing the event. Thanks also to Mr. Barlow Hansen and Mr. Gallagher for chaperoning the event. Finally thanks to the parishioners of St. Peters for supporting the youth group in the famine and being so generous in donating to the cause, attending the bake-off fund raiser, and the bake sale. We exceeded our goal of $5200 by more than $1000...... with the total amount raised coming in over $6500.
Thanks
