You don't want to miss this. We have a lot of new and exciting information to share!
Happy January!
January 2020
January is always considered a month of new beginnings – time to start a new tradition, begin new habits, embark on a new lifestyle…the old is gone, the new is here! Scripture tells us, “So whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come." As we embrace this time of ‘new beginnings’ ask yourself, “Where is God working in my life as I begin this new year?”

God has been working hard within Youth Ministry as He has brought Teresa Olivier to our parish. She is our new staff member and comes to Youth Ministry with many years of experience (previously at San Antonio, the Diocese of Orange, and La Purisima). She is overjoyed to be at St Norbert and excited to meet all of our Youth Ministry teens & families. Please, feel free to stop by the Youth Ministry office to say hi and introduce yourself. Her email is tolivier@stnorbertchurch.org

On a personal note, I am happy to share with all of you that my family is growing and my husband and I are expecting a little one in June 2020. This new year is bringing us a lot of joy and happiness as God has blessed us with a growing family!

As always this email is interactive. There are links embedded in the pictures and headings, so click around for for information. Please note, there are some changes/ updates to our calendar this month!

If you have any questions, please reach out to me in the Youth Ministry office.

Best, Jackie Gray
