     It is such a blessing to see the Holy Spirit at work in the lives of the young adults in our minstry!

   Whether it’s in those on the road to the priesthood/religious life (like Larry, Tom, and Krisz), those living the sacrament of matrimony (like Mary & Harrison, Matt & Jill, Kari & Nolan, and Cristina & Nick), those on the road to marriage (like Derrick & Kristy), those discerning their vocation, or those living the single life to the greater glory of God, it’s plain to see God working in and through us!

    I thank the Lord for the gift of each of our participants and the ministry that has brought us together!

Our Young Adult Ministry will be leading the last Station of the Cross this Friday, March 26, 2010 at 7pm. Prior to the stations of the cross come by the Social Hall for some Lenten soup provided by the Knights of Columbus. The soup will be served from 6-7pm. Cost is free, donations are welcomed. Those volunteering with the holding of the crucifix, candles, or readings please meet in front of the church at 6:40pm with Christina.

After the Stations of the Cross we will be heading over to Matinee (on the Miracle Mile) for a going away party for one of our Yammer’s, Krisz, who will be joining the seminary in Hungry. Hope you can make it!

For further questions on either of the events you may reach us via email at yam@lukefive.org or call Christina at 209-403-6232.

12th Annual Walk for Life
Good Friday
April 2, 2010
8:00 am

Please park and gather at East Ridge Community Church on the corner of Briggsmore at Oakdale Rd. Modesto. The prayer walk will conclude at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church.

Please bring a rosary, pro-life sign, and a friend.

I’ve got some information I’ve been asked to pass on about some upcoming Catholic events.

First, the Miles Christi Religious Order is holding a silent retreat in Danville, CA for men the weekend of June 11-13 called The Spiritual Exercises, with spiritual talks and time for personal meditation in silence. Apart from the conferences and time for prayer, each day there will also be Holy Mass, Holy Rosary, and opportunity for confessions. To register you can contact the Order on the web at http://www.mileschristi.org/?id=14, by email at california@spiritualexercises.net, or by phone # (248) 596-9677. The full event website (with more details) is here: http://www.mileschristi.org/en/activities/area.php?id=3&location=64.

Lastly, the 2010 Catholic Family Conference (with Fr. Joseph Fessio, S.J., Prof. Michael Barber, Tim Staples and Jesse Romero) is being held on Sunday, July 11, 2010 at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, CA. 600 registrations are needed by Friday, April 30, 2010 to ensure the venue. You can register online at www.CatholicRC.org or call toll free (877) 526-2151 to register with a credit card. Hotel accommodations will be available on May 1, 2010 once the venue is secured. More details about the conference can be found at http://www.catholicresourcecenter.org/site/events.php.

So that’s all for now, but please don’t forget about some more immediate things from my last posting (which you can see at http://www.lukefive.org/2010/03/11/march-10-board-meeting/).
