GS - Gioventù Studentesca
​Nearly Every Mon. 7:30-9pm in youth room
(“Student Youth” or GS, for short) is a youth group open to all high school youth from every school and parish for high school-aged youth. We meet on Mondays from 7:00-9:00pm in the Holy Redeemer youth room. GS is the high school part of the Catholic movement Communion & Liberation and refers to an international group of students who seek to understand how to live the particulars of our faith within all the various aspects of daily life.

We tell students that in order to understand Christianity, in order to judge it, you have to get together and try it, and see how life, with all of its interests, when approached from the Christian point of view can be… ‘made the most of.’
T.E.C. (Teens Encounter Christ)
#102: Nov 10-12
​TEC is a three-day experience for young people who are searching for goals, acceptance, meaning, and for community. Adults are also welcome and encouraged to attend as they increase our witness to our faith while experiencing their own encounter with Christ.
Candidates can expect to meet others from all areas of the Diocese, find how God fits in your life, and encounter the Risen Jesus Christ. You will have time to reflect on your life, ideas, hopes, and dreams away from home, school, and/or work.
You can find an application and more information at http://www.switec.org/ The next weekend is November 10-12, 2018 at St. Mary’s Church in Ireland.
