P[g_ 7 J[nu[ry 20, 2013 The bright future of our Church Thoughtful Moments When children participate in the Church from a young age, they grow to be strong and faithful Catholics for life. Encouraging youngsters to take an active part in parish life will give them a sense of belonging. And it makes our children and our Church stronger. Consider these ideas: Altar Server. This is a common way children participate in parish life. Many parishes offer both boys and girls the chance to be altar servers. Youngsters learn the order of the Mass, grow to appreciate sacraments and sacramentals, and establish healthy relationships with clergy. Christian witness. Young people who know the traditions, creed, teachings, and history of the church can share their Catholic faith with others. Parents can encourage this by taking youngsters to religious education classes faithfully and attending Mass every Sunday and holy day. Catholic school. In a world trying desperately to do without God, it is a gift to be able to send children to a Christ-centered parish school. In Catholic school, students are encouraged to care for one another. Cruelty and bullying are met head-on to help prevent the type of isolation that can erupt into deadly violence. Parish support. Many parishes have opportunities for youths to serve as lectors, choir members, or ushers. Other ministries include soup kitchens, work camps, homeless shelters, or visiting homebound parishioners. Partners in Faith - January 2013 Going Bananas for Jesus XVII March 15 - 17, 2013 Host Families The Alliance Deanery is hosting the upcoming youth congress at Gering High School. We are in need of host families to house youth coming from all over the diocese of Grand Island. If you are interested in hosting some youth please contact Terri in the RE Office. If you have already completed the initial Safe Environment training you will not need to attend another training, just update your paperwork. Please call today. Keep it real Do you try to do too much? The New Year is a good chance to examine your priorities and decide what really matters. How organized does your home really have to be? How available do we have to be to jobs or friends? Handle what you reasonably can, and give the rest to God. Show and Tell Demonstrating good Christian values, taking children to Mass, and letting them see you in daily prayer illustrates the importance of your faith. But don’t forget to talk to youngsters about our love for God and why you are Catholic. Show AND tell them. Stock up Do you get asked questions you can’t answer about the faith? Invest in a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It’s the definitive reference on the faith, and the index makes it easy to find answers quickly. It is available from most Catholic bookstore and many general ones. Also, available on-line at www.vatican.va Partners in Faith - January 2013
