TORCH Night! Saturday, 5-10pm!

What's the point of living in Louisiana if you don't take advantage of it?


Join TORCH for a crawfish boil, music, games (Dance Dance Revolution, y'all!), and a talk from Mr. Cory Hayes!

Saturday evening, from 5-10pm in the Youth House!

See you Saturday!

It was a (mostly) bloodless coup!

Congratulations are in order!

First, to all of you who attended the Teen Council meeting and who will comprise the TORCH Teen Council for the upcoming year. Thank you for being so willing to serve! If you had to miss the meeting for one reason or another and still wish to be a part of the TC, please come to next month's meeting on June 8th.

Secondly, we have TC Officers-elect! Your TC Officers for the upcoming year are:

Eric Frances-- President
Mary Seghers-- Vice-President
Sarah Mariano-- Treasurer
Alex Doucet-- Secretary

I look forward to working with you all as we strive to make TORCH burn brighter, all for the glory of God!

St. Peter, our Patron, pray for us!

If you feel called to serve in a leadership capacity within TC, it would good for you to read this.

Teen Council Description

Remember, the next TC General Meeting (Monday, May 11th, 6:30pm) is open to ANYONE interested in being a part of Teen Council. We will hold Officer elections that evening, too.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

That, if you don't know, is Blessed Miguel Pro, a Mexican Jesuit priest, executed during the persecution of the Catholic Church under the presidency of Plutarco Elías Calles after trumped up charges of involvement in an assassination attempt against former President Álvaro Obregón. Fr. Pro was beatified by John Paul II as a martyr on September 25, 1988.

Remember, on this day of Mexican Independence, that true freedom, true liberty, can only come through Jesus Christ. Bl. Miguel Pro knew this and lived it even unto death.

Bl. Miguel Pro, pray for us!

More of this, please!
