Life Night Preview:
The goal of our Life Night is to help teens understand why cheating is detrimental to their academic formation and invite them to live in the spirit of truth. A student from Marian University (Allison Heller) is bringing her insights as a current student dealing with the pressure in our technological age.
Key Points:
The increased competition for college scholarships and the fear of repercussions for doing poorly in school may drive some to be academically dishonest.
The act of cheating harms the individual’s self-respect and deteriorates one’s confidence, making them more susceptible to be tempted to continue cheating in other areas.
By living with integrity, we forgo the easy path and strive to live as a disciple of Jesus rooted in living justice and truth.
Dinner: Spaghetti and Meatballs with Garlic Bread
Upcoming Life Teen Topics:
9/25: Academic Honesty in a Tech Filled World
10/2: Healthy Boundaries On and Off of the Screen (Safe and Sacred Night)
10/9: No Life Teen, Fall Break

The teens asked for more social opportunities and we listened! All high school teens are invited to bring a friend and join us Saturday night for our monthly Sports and Social! This month we are playing volleyball and enjoying burgers fresh off the grill! Please RSVP for your teen below!
Blanket Making with the Daughters - Sunday!
All high school girls are invited to join the Daughters of the Immaculata in making blankets for those in need! We will also have donuts! This is a great way to meet new people and talk to other Daughters about what the ministry is all about while doing good for the community.
Net Ministries Presents: Choose Joy! - Saturday November 12!
We are bringing in a team of missionaries from Net Ministries to put on a retreat on finding true joy in Christ! This powerful evening will include testimonies from these young missionaries as well as the opportunity for Mass, Adoration, Confession, and Praise and Worship.

Fall Service Day - October 29
Mark your calendars! All are invited to join us for our Fall Family Service day! This is our third annual leaf raking day. We will meet at the Parish Hall for a light breakfast before breaking into teams and heading out to serve on our parish grounds and in the community. Teens are welcome to sign up on their own or families can sign up to serve together!
Fall Family Service Day Team
I am looking for a few parents to help with the many moving elements of our service day on October 29! In this service day we head out into the community to rake the leaves and help parishioners who need help prepare their yards for winter and work on our own parish grounds as well. If you are interested in joining the team, please email me at youthministry@zionsvillecatholic.com
