On Fire: Pentecost Sunday

Posted on by admin in Youth Ministry | Leave a comment

When you take a close look at the Bible you will find that there are many different symbols and images used. Seeing as I have had several reminders already to wear red clothes to Mass this Sunday for Pentecost, the fact that fire is often used as a symbol in scripture seems really relevant right now.

Personally, I love it when God uses our experience of the natural world to inform us about the divine. Fire is one of those things. At its base nature, and as every 5th grader could tell you after an informative school visit from the local fire department, fire needs three things to survive: fuel, heat, and oxygen. Read more

In the past few days we have been focusing on all of the “lasts” that have been happening. On May 5th we completed our last retreat of the year in Bremerton, WA for Our Lady Star of the Sea parish. During that retreat we set up for the last time, experienced our final small groups, acted in our last AME, stayed at our last host homes, packed the trailer for the last time, and drove across the country for the last time. And now, I am writing the last blog of the year. However, instead of updating you on the statistics of our team (like the fact that we’ve traveled through twenty-two different states, or ministered to over six-thousand youth), I want to update you on the team itself. So now I’m turning this blog over to them and allowing each team member to say a few final words to you guys to finish up the year. Read more

Hello from Team One! We just finished up our time on the road and are back at the NET Center for wrap up week, where we close up our time together this year. Since our last post we have traveled quite a bit around the southeast states, including Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, and Texas. Our last retreats have been amazing; we had a great weekend retreat in Florida, where the youth were already on fire for the Lord. It was great to see the strong sense of fellowship and being a part of the Holy Spirit guiding the whole weekend. After Florida we headed over to Texas, and did our last few retreats in between the dioceses of San Antonio and San Angelo. Read more

Hello for the last time from Team 8 at Providence Academy. This year has been amazing and filled with many wonderful memories. We have been so blessed this year with the generous Providence community and loving host families. We are sad to see the year coming to an end but excited of course to see our families and friends. This year we have experienced a lot as a team and have had the chance to see this ministry grow. For our last blog we chose to highlight some of the different parts of our ministry this year! We hope this gives you a look at what we have done and experienced this year. Read more

Team 5: Our Last Retreat Together

Posted on by admin in 2012-2013, Team 5 | 1 Comment

Greetings from Team Tallulah! One of our contact people explained that saying “Team Five” was incredibly boring and therefore, we needed a new name. As a team we decided to name ourselves “Team Tallulah” after the movie “Cool Runnings.” So with a new name in our repertoire and smiles on our faces we headed to our last diocese: San Antonio, Texas.
