Relay for Life!

Youth Group will participate in the Tacoma Relay for Life on June 11-12, 6pm-6pm at Mt. Tahoma High School. This event gives everyone a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length. For more information, visit their website here.

Our team name is "Youth for a Cure." Thanks for bringing your ideas!

We officially signed up online. Please visit our website and "join" here.

Bake Sale at the Church!

UPDATE: We won't be able to do a bake sale after Mass because it involves a special/legal process. However, we can work around one way by scheduling a second offering during Mass that will go to charity--and afterwards hand out goodies as a 'thanks' to the parishioners.

Where: Chapel II

When: April 25 after the 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM Mass

Thanks to everyone who volunteered/helped out at the bake sale! Together we raised $500 for Catholic Relief Services to help those in Haiti and Chile.
