From our Jr. High Youth Minister:
Mary Jo Keen
It has been an exciting year for Jr. High Youth Ministry at Holy Redeemer and I would love the opportunity to share with you some of the highlights. To start off, I am Mary Jo Keen and have had the privilege of working with our incredible youth in the Jr. High Youth Ministry program for the past 6 years. Through the working of the Holy Spirit, our program has developed and grown in amazing ways helping us to accomplish our goal of nurturing young disciples.
Our program is intentionally designed to reach our youth through a variety of methods including: high-energy-crazy-fun monthly themed events, community building and faith sharing, service within our parish and community, diocesan trips, and retreat opportunities.
This year our Jr High Youth Ministry Team (made up of 10 dedicated, faith inspiring parishioners) offered over 30 events/activities for our youth! Our most recent offering was Mission Week in June. Around 40 youth participated in Mission Week this year learning to put the Corporal Works of Mercy into action as they served throughout our parish and community. I would like to share with you some of our youth’s reflection from the week:
“Mission Week is a very amazing experience. You get the opportunity to be Jesus’ hands and feet; reaching out to those in need. Whether it’s by serving food at the Evansville Christian Life Center, or by just spending some time with those in a nursing home, you get the chance to truly make difference in the world. I was really touched by the amount of people out there that are willing to help others, people who volunteer everyday! My favorite part of Mission Week was when we were making meals for the home-bound at USI and when we were helping with the kids at the Headstart daycares. Throughout the whole week I felt the true presence of Jesus.” Lilli, 7th grade
“This week was such a heart warming and inspiring time for me. It was an amazing feeling for me knowing I was making a difference and doing something that Jesus has called me to do. From the fun I had with the kids at CAPE Place to the joyful elderly woman I hung out with at the nursing home, it was so much fun the entire time. To me, knowing I was serving Jesus was so satisfying. I love you, Lord! Thank you so much for this opportunity.” Emma, 7th grade
“I enjoyed this week because I saw smiles put on the faces of God’s children from our works. Hopefully this week has touched everyone’s hearts including those we helped and those in our group!”
Alison, 8th grade
“I thank you for the opportunity of being able to participate in Mission Week. Whether it was making food for those without it, visiting those in assisted living, lifting heavy boxes full of donated food and bringing it to those in need, in all circumstances, Lord, I felt you!” Evan, 7th grade
“This week was one of the best weeks of my life. I loved doing tiny deeds that helped people or made them happy. My favorite thing this week was cooking and serving meals at the Evansville Christian Life Center. Seeing their smiles when we helped them made me feel good on the outside and the inside. Knowing people have worse problems than me makes me feel so blessed and when we were able to help, I was very happy.” Hillary, 6th grade
“Mission Week helped me to realize how thankful I am for everything in my life. One really special moment was when we were delivering food and we went to a lady’s house who was blind. She told us how blessed we are to have eyesight, hearing, and to be able to breath. She also told us to always keep Jesus in our heart. I will always remember that and I thank Jesus for this special week.” Avery, 6th grade

St. Pio of Pietrelcina was a Capuchin friar who lived in the twentieth century and bore the wounds of Christ's passion on his body for 50 years. He had a great devotion for the Blessed Mother and her Rosary and called the Rosary "the weapon for our times." Pray the Rosary daily!
