High School

Hey, I've got good news!

If you are a high school student and you belong to Holy Name of Jesus parish you're invited to come to Bible Study on Wednesday evenings starting September 28th right after Mass. So... roughly 6:30-8pm. I mean, really, there's nothing good on TV on Wednesday any way right? Exactly! Let's do something worthwhile. Come to the school library, in the basement of the school near Hartman Hall.

We'll be studying the Gospel of Luke.

If you think about it, get a yellow permission slip from the church narthex this Sunday.

EDGE Nights

I wanted to take a minute to remind everyone that EDGE Nights will be 4-5:30pm on Mondays starting September 12. We want to encourage kids who go to public schools to attend our youth ministry events as well. We'll be talking about the Sacraments this semester. I hope to see you all Monday the 12th at 4 o'clock.

Get Excited

Hey! I think there's a good chance that YOU will be the next author on the Holy Name Youth Ministry blog. If you're involved in the youth ministry at Holy Name, call the office at 317.784.5454 and ask to speak with Stephen.

Prepare Your Hearts for Jesus!

In just a few days we will celebrate the birth of our Savior!  Really think about this - the meaning of Christmas. We are celebrating Jesus' birth!  The Son of God came to earth - as both human and divine - yet without sin, to teach us how to live.  He teaches us how to love - how to love our family, our friends, and even how to love our enemies.  He teaches us how to pray - as He would often go away from the crowds and pray to His Father in heaven.  Through all of this, he teaches us how to grow in holiness and leads us on the path to heaven.

This Christmas, have a thankful heart!! Thank our Father in Heaven for sending His only Son into the world to save us and lead us to heaven!

Fr. Williams asks us:  "What are you going to give to Jesus for Christmas?"  Why not give Him a thankful and loving heart, and a strong desire to grow in holiness?!  He will lead you on the path of holiness and sainthood!

May God bless you and all of your family abundantly this Christmas season!  He is Peace!

From today's 1st Reading...

The Book of Amos:

"Seek good and not evil, that you may live; Then truly will the LORD, the God of hosts, be with you as you claim!"

Let's keep it simple - do what is right & be faithful to God!  Peace & blessings in your day!
