January, 2008

• New Date — Sunday, January 13, 2008: Make-up session (for December 2), 2:00–7:00 p.m., Xavier Hall, Carbondale
  This make-up session is for Teens in Spirit participants who missed the regular session on Sunday, December 2 at Saint Andrew. This five-hour make-up session combined with three additional service hours will take the place of the eight-hour session on December 2 for students who missed that session. Pizza will served at the make-up session.
  
  Important! In keeping with the spirit of our regular Teens in Spirit sessions, participants should attend Mass and receive the Sacrament of Eucharist prior to the two o'clock start of the make-up session. In addition, the focus of the December 2 session was the Sacrament of Baptism and on January 13 the Church celebrates the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord -- how wonderfully appropriate for the December 2 make-up session!
