Wanna Go? Keysis Weekend in St. Louis, July 16/17
June 20, 2011
We are planning a Keysis Weekend Trip to St. Louis for July 16/17. We’ll be staying at a hotel Saturday night. (Several are being considered, but we need to know how large our group will be.) Here’s the tentative schedule so you’ll know what to expect.
The cost for the trip will be $50 per person. We’ll be driving in cars/mini vans to St. Louis. Depending upon the number of teens who go, we may need some parents to join us and chaperone.
We would leave on Saturday morning around 9 a.m. from St. Thomas Church. When we arrive in St. Louis we will have lunch on the grass under the Gateway Arch. Then, we’d go and check in at our hotel. Four teens of the same gender will share a room. The teen rooms and adult rooms will be nearby on the same floor in the hotel. The hotel has a pool. In the afternoon we will visit the City Museum downtown. The nonprofit group rate in advance is only $6 per person.
For supper, we’ll return to the hotel and have a cookout on the patio. The hotel provides grills for our use. We can also use the pool at that time and just hang out for awhile. On Sunday morning, we will enjoy a complimentary breakfast at the hotel and then get ready for10 a.m. Mass at the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica.
After Mass we’ll return to the hotel and change clothes and check out. We’ll have lunch in Forest Park and then spend the afternoon at the St. Louis Zoo. We’ll plan to leave for home around 3 or 4 and arrive in Decatur around 6 p.m.
Well, how does that sound? Are you interested? Respond to the Facebook invite or this email ASAP so we’ll know if the trip is on!
Corpus Christi Procession, 3 p.m., June 26
June 20, 2011
Keysis will participate in the Corpus Christi Service at St. Patrick Church and Procession on Sunday, June 26 from 3-4:30 pm. This is a wonderful opportunity for Catholics from more than 22 parishes in Decatur and the surrounding area to gather together to pray, to honor Jesus in the Eucharist, and to celebrate our common faith.
Bishop Paprocki will lead the service in the church at 3 p.m.; then we will walk two blocks to Dansig Park for Solemn Benediction at 4 p.m. Please join us for this special celebration of that which is core to our faith.
Keysis has been asked to carry the canopy that is held over the Blessed Sacrament during the Corpus Christi procession. We will attend the Liturgy at 3 pm at St. Patrick Church and walk in the procession to Central Park.
