Youth Leads the Rosary

Mr. Mulligan’s Seventh Grade PREP class led the Archdiocese of Philadelphia Rosary via Zoom on Thursday, November 18.   The comments following the Rosary were nothing but positive comments and we applaud them.   Our prayer for these special youth is that they continue to keep the Rosary as a focus in their spiritual lives.

PREP students and families, this calendar year God has blessed us with Holy Days and Sacred Traditions that fall during our PREP class times.

• Ash Wednesday
  • March 2, 2022, 7:00 PM
• PREP Closing Mass
  • April 27, 2022   6:30 PM

Throughout the year, we invite parents to join us in the Church (if they chose) for special celebrations.  Students will be with their PREP classes at these events, which include:
 

• Living Stations will be presented on:
  • Tuesday, April 5 for our Tuesday evening classes and 
  • Wednesday, April 6 for our Wednesday evening classes.

Everyone has a faith story whether you have witnessed it in your life yet or not. We all have one. I know this because through the power of the Holy Spirit, my faith story has led me to this moment in time. On July 12, I offically became the Director of Youth Faith Formation for our wonderful parish. This new position combines the DRE position and the Youth Minister position.   In my opinion, it is a vision that works for our parish needs. I am excited but ultimately, I feel blessed to be in such a position.  I am blessed to work with all the youth of our parish spreading the mission of Christ in both word and deed.  I am passionate in the Sacred Traditions and Sacred Scripture that are the pillers of Christ's  Church. The children are the future of the Church Universal.
I take responsibilty in partnering with their families to equip them with the tools that they need to continue in Christ's mission.

I look forward to meeting everyone in the months ahead.  You can expect to see me around our beautiful campus and in the children's classrooms quite a bit. I encourage you to volunteer or join a ministry that will help you on your journey to your faith story.  My doors  are always open, please feel free to reach out  with ideas and questions for both PREP and Youth Ministy.  My new email is Lbull@mmredeemer.org. 

God Bless You!
Mrs. Bull
