We are collecting empty prescription medicine bottles (labels removed) for the

you so much for your help!

CIA- Catholics in Action Youth Group

On Friday, September 9th the Feast day of St. Peter Claver, the CIA teens and their
families came together to celebrate mass with a special intention for Ben Robledo.
Father Soane asked for us to pray for Ben on his vocation: his military career, and
for his safe return. We then went to Leatherby’s to continue the celebration with
ice cream, fun and friendship. Thank you to Father Soane, for celebrating mass, and
for acknowledging Ben on his service to the parish. Thank you to Michelle Pratt and
Debbie Kemper for being wonderful chaperones.
