— MACH1 Youth Group Meeting —
Sunday, November 8, 2020
Our next meeting will be Sunday, November 8, 2020 at Our Lady of Fatima from 3:00PM to 5:00PM. We will take this opportunity to learn about and pray for the souls in Purgatory, as November is the month the Church asks us to remember them in a particular way. Purgatory is something that most Catholics do not know much about, and yet it is something that should be at the forefront of our minds as it is extremely relevant to our eternal salvation and our path to heaven. We will talk about why Catholics pray for the dead, and the reason that Catholics view death as something very different than other groups in our society.
As always, there will be food and drinks and time to decompress in the midst of a chaotic world. Please contact Drew Durbin at 702.351.1618 if you want more information. Hope to see you there!.

About MACH1 Youth group
MACH1 Youth Group is for all 9th through 12th grade students in our parish grouping. The mission of the group is to assist teens in deepening their personal relationship with Jesus.
Youth Group in the MACH1 Parish Grouping is all about asking and answering the big questions that matter in life and doing so in a fun and engaging way. We ask, "Is life worth living?" and with Venerable Fulton Sheen we resoundingly answer; "YES!" Life in Christ is an adventure that is beautiful, joyful, challenging and entirely worth it.
Youth group gatherings feature faith formation and prayer; food, fun, and service projects. For more information, download a MACH1 Youth Schedule and/or contact Drew Durbin, Director of MACH1 Youth Ministry.
