Chocolate loves Doug and Doug Loves Chocolate.
Doug tends to get up before his alarm goes off then turns it off and goes back to sleep.
He got third place growing up in his family's 'singing in the shower' competition.

We had a wonderful Steubenville Trip. We got to hear Fr. Mike Schmitz talk about how real relationships have real responsibilites. Primarily in our relationship with God.

What:
We are thrilled to be back in having an amazing time of formation and community for our Junior High Teens at Holy Spirit this year on Friday afternoons. In years past this has been a convenient time for many families to let their 7^th or 8^th graders stay after school lets out. Our Youth Group is designed to give lots of time for building friendships with other peers and most importantly with Christ. This year we are excited to be going through some Christology & Ecclesiology as we look at why our need for Christ and his Church is so essential. 

When: 
Various Fridays after school till 5:15PM! Social time begins at 3:30PM. We will watch any students staying late from HS School till 3:30PM when they are invited up to the Martha & Mary Room. We will have some social time with snacks till 4:15PM when those and band and from other schools are able to join in the fun. 
Drop Off & Pick up with be outside the Martha & Mary Room.

Needs: We are always in need of snack help. Please look at the link to see if your family can sign up to bring some snacks.
