Some upLIFTing events…

LIFT’s Schedule of Events

We are soooo excited to announce that in October (this weekend) we will be kicking off our new schedule of events!!   There is a LIFT event every single week!  You are all welcomed to come and join us as we learn more about our Catholic faith, deepen our relationship with God, and spend time in fellowship as we grow in our Young Adult community.  These events are open to all young adults (not just Santa Maria del Mar parishioners) so invite your friends and spread the word!  See flyer below for more details.

Aloha!

This year LIFT and Life Teen joined together to create our First Annual Luau.  The Luau was this past weekend.  Luckily the weather was beautiful and we got to enjoy an amazing time at the beach.  Thank you to all of those who came out…we had LOTS of fun!!

It’s getting warmer outside and this can only mean one thing….it’s beach time!!  LIFT and Life Teen are coming together to host “LUAU at the beach!”  Get ready for some great food, games and prizes! See you there and bring a friend!

Get Fired Up for Confirmation!

Confirmation will be held this Tuesday, May 1st at 6:00 p.m.  ArchBishop Felipe Estevez will be present to minister this sacrament.  All are welcomed to come and support those who will be confirmed.  There will be a reception at the hall after mass.

Ever wonder why we get confirmed? Here’s a great video clip from Busted Halo explaining the reason for confirmation.

Mark Your Calendars!

Our Praise and Worship Adoration is coming up!  J.A.M. (Jesus and Me) will be available for those who have children and want to attend adoration.  It’s going to be lots of fun. Hope to see you there!

Come, now is the time to Worship…

Come join us for our first Praise and Worship Adoration!  It will be held March 18th from 3 to 4:30pm at the SMdM chapel.  This will be a monthly event that will take place every third Sunday of the month, so mark your calendars!  There will be some great praise and worship music that will lead into Adoration.  We will also be introducing W.R.A.P. yourself in scripture based on the principles of Lectio Divina for those who want to learn how to meditate with God’s word as well as journaling.  There will be a 30 minute fellowship time after Adoration before heading to the Youth Mass at 5:00pm.    Feel free to come for as long or as little as you can.  There will be J.A.M. (Jesus and Me) Sunday school teaching for toddlers of those parents who attend the adoration.
