March for Life!

The annual March for Life is coming sooner than you think!  This year it will be on Monday, January 24, 2011.  We are continuing the tradition and once again SCL and St. Martin of Tours in Gaithersburg will be hosting Vigil events on the Sunday evening before- January 23, 2011.  The evening will include youth Mass, dinner, a concert, and Adoration.  SCL is excited to host Josh Blakesley, and St. Martin's will be hosting Tony Melendez.

We are accepting registration forms, so if you or anyone you know is interested, please don't hesitate to contact us!  The registration form for out of town groups (we will provide housing at a local parish for Sunday night and a light breakfast and bag lunch for Monday) is under the "March for Life" links on the side.  The local form will be coming soon.

If you are interested in helping coordinate the events at SCL, please let Kelsey know!  Email SCLYouthGroup@gmail.com or call 301-946-3636 ext. 24.  There will be a meeting in the Rectory Meeting Room on Wednesday, December 1 for more information and materials for planning.  There is something for everyone, from dinner to tickets to helping set up for the band!

Please help spread the word about this awesome event to support the pro-life movement!

Hi, I'm Kelsey...

... and I am the new Youth Minister for SCL!  I am really excited to be here and get to know all of the great teens in this parish.  I am already impressed with the vibrant community here and the desire to not only get involved in activities, but grow deeper in relationship with Christ. I am blessed to become a part of the SCL family.

We have a lot of events coming up... the school year may be close to ending but it is just the beginning of more fun times with the SCL Youth Group!

The PURE FASHION lunch and fashion show is coming up on April 18th, and SPRING RETREAT 2010 will be April 30- May 2.  Stay tuned for more details about SENIOR NIGHT and the 8TH GRADE WELCOME PARTY in May, and STEUBENVILLE June 25-27!  And don't forget Youth Group every Friday night 7-9pm... we have some great activities planned!
