Light the Fire Youth Rally 2010
Thursday, July 1st 2010 at Misericordia University
Cost is $25.00 per person and includes your meals and registration for the day.
Last year a fire was lit in Northeast Pennsylvania. Since last June, we've been watching it continue to burn brightly. This July will be a time to once again to gather and celebrate in our faith. Light the Fire is back with new speakers and new bands, but the same excitement and fun. This is a day of workshops, music, adoration, humor, new friends, and powerful speakers talking about the things that matter to young people. This is not a day planned completely by adults, but also by select teenagers from around our area
As you know this event was met with great success last year. With over 400 participants we are hoping that the Holy Spirit will provide growth to the work of God this year. In these changing and challenging times our parishes are in need of a positive and uplifting experience. With so many things going on, sometimes we find our youth bogged down in fear, doubt and despair. However, we are called to mission. God calls us to be bold, to move forward and to be the light and hope in this world. In the face of fear, we can love.
In the face of doubt, our faith will shine. In the face of despair, we dare to have hope.
To register or to chaperone, contact Brain by calling 788-1997, ext. 205 (Voicemail) or by submitting a form that you can access by clicking here or clicking on the Contact Us link in the sidebar at the left side of this page.

Dear Fellow-Parishioners,
Mother's Day Cards Collection for Soldiers in Iraq to send to their mom’s.
We have a "card collection boxes" in the back of Good Shepherd and St. John Bosco.
I am asking you to please, when you are out shopping and have an extra $1.00 or two, to pick a card that you like and put it along with its rightful envelope in the box in the back of the Church after Mass on Saturday and Sunday.
The cards will be collected through the end of March.
If any of you are creative and "stamp" greeting cards, those along with appropriate envelopes will be welcome, also. Thank you, in advance, for your generosity.
