The name "AXIS" was given to us by our youth participants. "AXIS" meaning, constantly revolving around God.
AXIS is open to all youth and their friends whether they ahve been confirmed or not, and even if they are registered in the current confirmation program. Our Wednesday night setting is being offered as a way to reach out to our youth who wish to have a better unerstanding of his/her own faith. We will read and explain scripture, discuss today's issues and how they affect us and can we do anything to create change, group book studies, guest speakers, open discussion nights, and offer group events. The AXIS program is committed to satisfying teens' thirs for the truth by exposing them to Christ and the wholeness of the Roman Catholic teachings.
This program will meet our youth were they are at and serve their needs. Our goal is to have a coffee house setting that will provide a very relaxed atomosphere that will allow for openness and acceptance of each other. Attendance every week is encouraged but not necessary, come when you can, you will always be welcome.
Our theme this year is "Raise the Bar". Come and join us! Let us encourage each other to "Raise the Bar" to where Christ is calling us to be and what he is calling us to do.
"AXIS" evenings will begin Wednesday, October 22nd, with the 6:00pm Mass at Holy Family Parish. This will be followed by a social and teaching interaction from 7:00pm to 9:00pm in our youth center located in the lower hall of Holy Family.
To register for this program or if you have any questions, please call Bridget Goudreau, Youth Minister. Pre-registration is helpful, but not necessary.
The fee for the AXIS program is $25 per youth not to exceed $75 per family. No one will ever be turned away if unable to pay, but please call to discuss your situation.
