Project 600
Thursday, December 11, 2008

Join us as we bring Christmas to over 600 four- and five-year-old children from the poorest areas of Denver. This is a day that will warm your heart! All high school youth are invited to help at the party - running games, playing with the kids, painting faces, facilitating arts and crafts, handing out balloons, or helping Santa himself. It's a busy day, but very much worth the effort.

Here's how you can be involved with Project 600:

Wrapping party: Sunday, December 7, 12:00-5:00pm in the Youth Center. Open to everyone who wants to help wrap all the presents that are donated for the party.

Set-up: Wednesday, December 10, 3:00-8:00pm. Open to everyone who wants to help transform the Youth Center and Parish Hall into a winter wonderland for the party. All participants who will be at the party on Thursday are expected to help with set-up.

Project 600 party: Thursday, December 11, 8:00am-4:00pm. Open to all youth in grades 8-12. Please note that you will have to miss a day of school to participate in the party, so please talk to your parents about this ASAP. Permission slips are required. We will also need adult volunteers to help with the party.

The 2007 and 2008 Mission Possible teams (The Posse!) had opportunities to do some amazing work, helping the community of New Orleans to rebuild in the wake of Hurricane Katrina's destruction. Mission Possible is an annual Spring Break service trip open to all high school youth. Mission Possible 2009 will take us to the four corners area, to the Navajo Reservation in New Mexico (near Shiprock). This year's Mission Possible will be held over Spring Break for the following schools: Arapahoe (LPS), Regis, and Highlands Ranch (DCPS). For details about the trip, please attend one of the 2 information meetings (dates listed above) with a parent. Call Sue at 303-220-3388 x3 if you have questions.

Food Fast

24 Hour Food Fast
March 6-7, 2009
7:00pm Friday - 7:00pm Saturday

Seize an opportunity to make a difference in the world around you. Join us for the Food Fast, an overnight service experience. In preparation for the event, you will gather sponsors from among your family and friends who are willing to donate money toward Catholic Relief Services International, an organization that serves in the areas of the greatest need. CRS has been instrumental in aiding victims of crises such as the tsunami in southeast Asia, Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, and AIDS in Africa. In 2008 we were able to send nearly $2000 to help Catholic Relief Services in their important efforts!

For the Fast, we'll gather at STM to spend the 24 hours together. We fast to be in solidarity with the poor (though we do take juice breaks, just to keep our mineral levels up). During our Fast, we'll spend time in local service projects, prayer, discussion, praise and worship and games. Call Sue at 303-220-3388 x3 if you have any questions.
