Youth Sodality Founded. St. Elizabeth and St. Jules founded the Youth Sodality of the Militia of the Immaculata for high school students in its first meeting on September 24, 2020. We call upon other high school students to join this wonderful group. Those interested in joining can text @youthsod to 81010 or contact Alaina Paine at ampainern@gmail.com

The aim of this Bible Study Program is to read the Bible on a regular basis. This year, we will read the Gospel of Luke.  You will read assigned chapters weekly or watch a video, and then you will answer some of the questions that will be sent to you in a quiz format. I encourage you to read the Bible as a family with your children, and to do the quiz together. It is going to be fun, with grace-filled moments for families. We will use The New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE). The Youth Bible given out to High School students is the same version with some more explanations. Students can use that Bible. If you do not have the NABRE, you can access the Bible online: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/0.
