“You may be thinking, “I don’t deserve to be forgiven. My sins
are too great!” Thankfully, God’s love is greater than all the
sins of all time. Jesus offers his Grace and forgiveness
to every repentant heart.”

Jesus said to them in reply, “It is not those who are well
who need the doctor, but the sick. I have not come to
call the virtuous, but sinners to repentance.”

Mission Trip Fundraising: As most of you know, Youth Ministry works to raise some of the money for our
mission trips each year. Our families are very committed to the learning experience of sending teens on
mission trips during spring and summer and go to great expense to do so. Two of our MAIN EVENTS are the
Bake Sale and the Heavenly Scents BBQ (see pg. 2 for more information) – both held on May 1. Hope to see you
at one or both of these delicious events! Pre-orders for the BBQ are

Transforming Adolescent Catechesis
(TAC) ~ UPDATE ~
The TAC group has been working hard
since our Survey follow up meeting that
so many dedicated parishioners attended.
If you will recall, during that meeting, we
identified “gaps” and “strengths” in Youth Ministry at St.
Petronille, then brainstormed ideas on how to “fill the
gaps” and continue to support the strengths. For the past
several months we have been working with the suggestions that came out of the brainstorming process from
that meeting.
We have developed eight “Smart Goals” associated with the gaps and are hoping to begin recruiting volunteers to implement these goals. One of the most exciting goals is to establish an Adult Friends of Youth Ministry
Committee designed to make sure there is youth representation, integration and continuity within the rest of
the parish committees. If you would like more information, or would like to be involved in this process
please contact us: [email protected].
