Over the past several weeks I have featured the young stewards of our parish. We have read beautiful witnesses from junior high school students, high school and college students and young families as well. They have all expressed their love and devotion to God and to Mother Church and their families. We are so blessed to have this young and vibrant spirit flourishing in our parish.
I think many of us have heard that it is prudent to follow the example of older people. Maybe we aspire to be like our parents, our grandparents or godparents. But I also believe that the young people of our parish give us a reason to be like them. Their energy and their positive outlook for the future of our Catholic faith is incredible and contagious.
I would like to encourage everyone to take notice of all the great things our young people and young families do to serve our parish and affirm their good work with a kind word. We are truly blessed to have their example of faith.
God bless you,
Deacon John
