Join Us at Youth Day at Our Lady of the Snows
September 3, 2010
The 2010 Youth Day Celebration at Our Lady of the Snows, Belleville, Ill will be held on Sun., Sept. 26. Last year Keysis went and had a blast.
Join us for a high-energy …gathering of young people brought together to celebrate the gifts of youth and the Catholic faith. The Eucharist is the focus of this celebration with our theme stemming from the readings of the day. Youth Day exists to inspire and evangelize youth . . . to celebrate and send them forth on their faith journey.
The event runs from 11 am to 8:30 pm. We’ll have Mass at Our Lady of the Snows. We’ll be leaving Sunday at 7 a.m. from the St. Thomas Church parking lot. We should return to Decatur around 11 p.m. on Sunday night. Bring snacks and a lunch. Dinner provided.
Please respond to the Event Invite on Facebook, or let Deacon Kevin know you will attend!

For Keysis Parents: Theology of the Body, Sept.19
September 3, 2010
The Gospel story of Martha and Mary is well known. Mary is sitting and listening to Jesus and ‘not doing anything’ to help. Martha, on the other hand, is busy doing all of the work. But, according to Jesus, she is not busy with what is important.
Each week at Keysis, we try to set time aside for the teens so they can hear and learn about “what is important.”
As we put together the topics we’ll cover at Keysis this fall, the team asks that you join us for a parent introduction to something the church calls “Theology of the Body.” Now this may sound complicated and intimidating, but it’s really not. In fact, it comes from a series of simple daily talks given by Pope John Paul II about how we can understand the mystery and beauty of what God wants to tell us about our bodies.
As parents, we need to hear about this — and I ask you to please put this in your calendar right away and join us.
Ray and Kelly Ramirez, parents of two Keysis teens, will offer parents an introduction to the Theology of the Body on Sunday, September 19 from 7 – 8:30 p.m. in Angela Hall at St.Thomas. The Keysis teens will have their regular meeting at the same time, however the Theology of the Body topic will be presented to them at a later date after we receive your input.
Ray and Kelly are certified as presenters by the Theology of the Body Institute. The presentation is for parents, and any friends you would like to invite. Following the presentation, there will be time for questions & answers. I hope to see you there! In the Peace of Christ, Deacon Kevin
