Catholic Church of the Incarnation Youth Ministry

We have returned from an AMAZING winter retreat!  The Holy Spirit definitely moved through the hearts of all who attended (youth and adults) this past weekend.  Everyone must consider attending the retreat next year!  Look for pictures and memories to be posted very soon to this site.

Aside from our winter retreat, the Incarnation Teens are now in the midst of another wonderful semester.  We intend to learn about Sacred Scripture and, most importantly, to live its lessons in our lives.  Together we hope to become a holy group of youth and adults!

LOOKING FORWARD TO MASS

The Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul occurs every year on January 25.  It is most appropriate that the feast falls on a Sunday during this Jubilee Year of St. Paul.  All of the faithful will hear  Scripture readings and homilies about the life, conversion, and mission of the Apostle.  As this holy feast is celebrated, let us all take time to ask for St. Paul's intercession and hope that we might become great evangelizers, spreading the Good News to our own modern culture!
