PARISH TEENS - YOU’RE INVITED
St. Thomas More Youth Group has invited St. Ann’s parish high school teens to be a part of their Youth Group and activities.
There’s no membership or requirement - you can attend as your schedule allows. Please contact Allie Yudt, STM Youth Ministry, allie@stmchurchallentown.org, with any questions!
CATHOLIC HEART WORKCAMP
Catholic Heart Workcamp is a powerful mission-trip experience. Groups travel to a community, stay at a home base (usually a Catholic school) and serve that community for 4 days. Students work alongside other students from all over the country. Teens learn that by opening themselves up to God's grace and serving in His name, they can truly transform a community - and receive so much joy and peace. For many teens, it can be a lifechanging experience.
St. Thomas More Youth Ministry is planning to attend CHWC in Summer 2024. If you'd like to learn more or reserve your spot, please contact ALLIE YUDT.
