Hi Parents and Students,
This is to confirm that we will have class this Sunday, May 2nd. We will have a guest speaker from the Birth Choice Clinic. The topic this week is "Sex & Consequences" which is a very important topic to our teens at this age. Please have all the students attend and not miss this class. It is a topic that is so imprtant to this course but that I did not feel I was qualified to speak about. The guest speaker is from the Birth Choice Clinic and the Teen Integrity Program. Parents are also welcome to attend. It is our last class of the year.
Last week the Bake Sale for the Catholic Medical Mission Board was a success as we raised over $500 for this organiztion to give medical aid to the Haiti earthquake victims. Thank you to all who baked and volunteered. With out you we would not have been successful!!
The HSYM Group also participated in the Fullerton Crop Walk. The Team raised over $500 for this interfaith fundraiser. A special thanks to the Knights of Columbus and Lane Paulsen for walking with the group and carrying the big sign.
A reminder to all 2nd Year Confirmation Students and Sponsors. Our Confirmation Practice will be on Thursday May 6th, at 6:30pm in the Parish Center. All Students and Sponsors need to attend. Do not forget your service hour forms.
Kerry & Maura Condon

HSYM Update 4-18-10
Hello HSYM Parents & Students,
It is update time and we hope everyone had a great Easter and break from school and work. The year is closing upon us and we only have two meetings left. This week was a special one for our last Teen Mass/ Social/ Fellowship Sunday. Attendance was awesome as we started the evening at Mass. After Mass and a few announcements in the Parish Center, we headed back down to the Church and experienced the Baptism of First Year student Nicholas Mares. Deacon Gerhard presided over this ceremony and did a wonderful job. What a great experience for all the students to see one of their friends accept the first Sacrament of Initiation in Baptism. They all were terrific during the ceremony. After the Baptism, we had our Social/Celebration for Nicholas in the Parish Center with the Mares family. Mrs. Condon ordered six 6’ burritos and when I saw them I thought there was no way the group would finish these. I was wrong! They not only finished the burritos, but also a ton of salad prepared by Mrs. Pesci, and a table of desserts brought by the Mares family. It turned out to be a wonderful Sunday evening.
Next week is our last “XLT” of the year. I will be the guest speaker and talk about my “Ah-ha” moment in my faith journey. I invite all parents and siblings to join us in the Church starting at 6:30pm this Sunday. Our last meeting will be on May 2nd. We have a guest speaker from the Birth Choice Clinic and their Teen Integrity Program. The talk will be about Sex & Consequences. This is a very important topic for our teens living in the Catholic Faith and I am excited that we will have a professional speaker on this topic.
SERVICE HOURS! If you have not completed your service hours we have a few more opportunities. All students must complete 4 parish service hours to complete the class. This Sunday I need walkers for the Fullerton Crop Walk, volunteers to help after all masses for the Haiti Fundraising Bake sale, and helpers at Confirmation on May 8th. Please email or call us to sign up. If you have done your service hours and want to help in any of these events we would love to have you.
