THEOLOGY OF THE BODY FOR TEENS
If Sex is on Their Minds, Put Truth in Their HeartsTeens are often thinking about their sexuality as they search for meaning in their lives. Now there’s a program for Catholic teenagers based on Pope John Paul II’s revolutionary Theology of the Body that helps them understand the meaning of their bodies, the significance of their sexuality, the purpose of their lives, and how they were uniquely created for greatness.
Theology of the Body for Teens is an exciting and dynamic program, being offered to High School teens Wednesday evenings in the Youth Ministry office. This program will give teens the answers and the tools they need to successfully and safely navigate through life. Contact Berna at 705-726-8007 X110 for more information.

The CWL is asking you to support the Ordinandi’s (soon-to-be ordained priests). Our future priests will need our prayers and support for the work they have to do to spread the Good News. Our support is made in the form of a Spiritual Bouquet gathered by the members of the CWL.. There will be 10 who will be ordained studying at St. Augustine’s Seminary. A SPIRITUAL BOUQUET is an offering of Masses, Communions, Rosaries, Stations of the Cross, Eucharistic Adorations, Sacrifices, Novenas and other forms of prayers offered by a person for an intention, this being for the seminarians studying at St. Augustine’s Seminary who will be ordained priests and who will make their vows in 2011.
These offerings are not paid offerings but prayers and devotions done and offered by a person (such as personally attending mass (s) one offered for an intention. The Ordinandi’s of 2010 were very appreciative of the prayers they received and the Ordinandi’s of 2011 are excited on receiving theirs.
Each candidate is given a scroll to keep, showing the Spiritual bouquet they got of prayers from the Catholic community.
There are sign-up sheets in the hall. Come in for a coffee and offer your spiritual support to our future Priests.
