✨ AYM Weekly Newsletter - October 11! ✨

Our high school teens had another amazing Sunday on October 5 diving into where God is in our suffering — and they showed up with so much joy and faith! 💛

A huge thank-you to the St. Gianna Women’s Circle for providing our meal and to Chloe for her beautiful senior witness, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, God’s light shines through. 💫

💌 Come support one of our favorite Core Team members during XLT at St. Paul’s Riverside on November 1! Mass begins at 4:00 PM, and XLT follows at 6:00 PM. More info on the flyer in the newsletter. ✨

It’s been a great couple of weeks for our youth ministry! 🙌

Life Teen has been digging into conscience, freedom, and suffering, while Edge has been diving into the beautiful virtue of hope. No pics of Edge this time, but there was plenty of grace and joy! ✨

No youth nights this Sunday, but we’ll be back with Life Teen AND Edge October 19!

As mentioned in our newsletter - Bible studies are now in full swing on Monday nights! Our ladies kicked us off on Monday and this Monday, 9/15, is for the guys.

We meet in the youth room from 6:45pm until 8pm and all high school teens are welcome.

The best way to strengthen your relationship with the Lord is to spend time with Him and read His love letter to us all.

✨ What a night! ✨

Our Youth Ministry Kick-Off + Canonization Party was an incredible way to start the year. We shared pizza, laughed through games, and lifted our voices in joyful praise and worship with Stella! 🙌

Most importantly, we celebrated the canonization of two amazing new saints—St. Carlo Acutis and St. Pier Giorgio Frassati—both young and inspiring witnesses of holiness for today’s youth.

We closed the night in the most powerful way: before Our Lord in Adoration. 💛

We can’t wait to see all that God has in store for this year! 🕊️
