Attention Everyone: As part of our youth program, we strive to help out our community since it is from them that we are even capable of having a youth program to begin with. So, as part of this post i am including a list of upcoming service projects so that we can show our support to our local community. For all those who are a part of the confirmation program please remember that you are required to do 20 hours of service a sememster for a grand total of 80 hours by the time you reach the 11th grade. Also, all those needing hours for NHS or Key Club this is also an excellent opportunity to get hours. Lastly, if you wish to attend the Jamaica mission trip this summer, remember that doing community service in your own community is a coponent to being accepted to attend the mission trip. The reason being, if you are not willing to do service in your hometown then I am not going to take you to do service out of the country. Thus, I ask that you please strongly consider participating in some if not all of the following service projects:
1. St. Bede Canned Food Drive: please come before all masses this Sat. and Sun. (Sept 24/25) to help collect canned food for the St. Bede Food Pantry. For every mass that you help collect for you will receive one hour.
2. Holy Spirit Baby Goods Collection: please come after all masses at Holy Spirit on the weekends of October 1/2 and 8/9 to help collect baby good for COPE. For every mass that you help collect for you will also recevie one hour of community service.
3. Life Chain: on Sunday Oct. 2 from 2:30-3:30 please meet in front of MCPS on Vaughn Road to help protest Abortion.
4. Service Project at COPE: On Oct. 15 from 9:00am-1:00pm will be meet at COPE to help do odd jobs for their ministry.
5. St. Bede Fall Festival: On October 16, we will need volunteers to help run the concession stand for the St. Bede Fall Festival. Specific times TBA.
I look forward to seeing all of you there. God Bless
