Time Change for Keysis on Sundays
August 25, 2011
Beginning on Sunday, August 28 the starting time for Keysis will move one half hour earlier to 6 p.m. The order of the night will also flip flop: Our Keysis meeting will start promptly at 6 and the social time will run from 7:30 to 8.
This change will allow Keysis members to stay after the meeting for snacks and conversation or they can leave at 7:30 if they have homework or other things they need to do.
Remember that the Keysis Room has moved upstairs! Please start using the South Entrance to the school (near the parish office porch), instead of going down the concrete stairs near the parking lot into Angela Hall.
Catholic Heart Workcamp to Twin Cities, MN – June 10-16, 2012
August 3, 2011
You might remember (or had heard) that in 2010 we went on a mission trip to Toledo, Ohio for Catholic Heart Workcamp and we had an AMAZING experience!
We’re planning another Mission Trip Adventure — for June 10-16, 2012. We’ll be travelling to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. It’s a week of service that will be life changing! Catholic Heart Workcamp has been coordinating these mission trips for many years. It’s a fantastic experience.
Look beyond the lakes, scenic shores, beautiful beaches, and groomed walking paths of the Twin Cities, and you will find a growing number of people who struggle with poverty, homelessness, and hunger.
Keysis will join over 300 teens to surround the Twin Cities community with the love of Christ, through daycare center work; at the homes of elderly, disadvantaged or disabled residents on revitalization, home beautification, and repair / rehab projects; and homeless shelter help. Whatever the Lord has in store for you will be an INCREDIBLE uplifting time, making new friends, and learning what living the Gospel really means!
The cost is $310.00, and includes meals and accommodations. Motor coach transportation is additional, but should be approximately $75. The cost of our “free day” activity will also be additional. We will be doing fundraising activities to offset the cost of this mission trip.

The info on the Twin Cities 2011 work camp is available at the following Web address (info for next year should be available soon):

We’ll be travelling again with the youth group from St. Columcille in Sullivan, IL. The Twin Cities site fills up extremely fast. So we need to know who wants to go ASAP! Send me an email and let me know and I’ll put you on the list.
IMPORTANT: If you want to attend, please turn in your $75 deposit as soon as possible to reserve your place. Deadline is August 31.
Think about this. Pray about this. And let us know very soon.
God bless you!
