What a joy-filled week our middle schoolers had at Love Begins Here (LBH). Forty-five youth and twelve adults from our parish stayed four days at St. John the Baptist School in Waunakee! They began each day with Mass and provided service in and around the community. From weeding to visiting with neighbors in need, they poured their energy and joy into every project. Evenings were full of prayer, laughter, and quality time together as a faith family.

We are so grateful to our lead missionaries for making the trip possible and for guiding our middle schoolers in encountering Jesus through service.

Now we turn our prayers toward our high school group, heading to Love Begins Here in Monroe from July 27–August 1. Please keep them in your prayers this week, that their hands may be Christ’s hands, and that they may return renewed in faith and friendship.
