Youth Ministry Mission Trip Planned
Then the righteous will answer him and say, “Lord,
when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you? And the king will say
to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these
least brothers of mine, you did for me.”
Matthew 25:37-40
Jesus tells us time and time again how important
service to others is in leading a Christian life. A genuine commitment to
others is ultimately a commitment to Christ. Our Sacred Heart Parish High
School Youth Ministry Mission Group is striving to do this. We are making
a commitment to serve others through a mission trip to York, PA on June
22-28 with The Group Work Camps Organization. We will be doing this
mission work during their White Rose Week of Hope. Currently we have 7
youth and 4 adults in our group and we need to raise about $4,500.00 to
make this a reality. Through donations and money collected through our
bottle drive, we have already raised $950.00. We have paid our deposit to
hold our spot for this trip so we now have approximately $400.00 left. We
need to pay half of the balance owed ($2000) on March 15th and the other
half is due in May.
Please give prayerful thought to what you can do to
assist in this important mission work. We know that Sacred Heart has
always been a generous and caring parish. We work together to do what we
can to support our own parish, our Sister Parish in Haiti, and in serving
others in need. Let’s make this dream of a mission trip a reality, and
perhaps this can be the first of many mission trips for our High School
Youth Ministry Group! It’s so important to show our teens that they can
put their faith in action for all of God’s children!
You can help by participating in our on-going bottle
drive. We also are hosting a spaghetti Supper on February 9th at 5:30 in
the Sacred Heart Hall. Thank you!
Our youth are very active parish participants and many serve at the state
level as well.
