Category — YAM Meetings

Our meeting topic tomorrow night (part of our currently ongoing 6-week Lenten program) will be on Fasting.  Our guest speaker will be Sr. Wanda and we will be meeting in the choir room at St. Luke’s as usual after Adoration/Confession, which is available 7-8 pm  in the church.  The  meeting is from 8:15-9:30pm; we’ll meet outside in front of the church after Adoration ends.

For further questions you may reach Christina at (209) 403-6232.

Gus will be hosting a rosary prayer at his home in Stockton on Thursday, February, 26, 2010 at 7:00 pm.  What a great way to follow up with Fr. Dean’s talk on prayer during this lenten season.  Please email for the address at yam@lukefive.org.  Hope to see you there!

Tonight at our meeting, we talked about how to make good resolutions for 2010, especially ones that allow us to grow closer to God. We discussed tips for making a good resolution and examining our consciences so as to better determine what really needs improvement.
