Last Saturday, our high school Cénaculo Youth Program visited the residents at the Little Sisters of the Poor Jeanne Jugan House. While there, they sang songs with the residents, visited with them to hear their stories, and prayed with them. It was a blessed opportunity to perform a Work of Mercy — visit the sick — with elderly brothers and sisters in Christ!
On Saturday, September 27, His Excellency, the Most Reverend Ricardo Araya, Bishop of Cruz del Eje, ordained Santiago Houssay, Marcelo Olmedo, and Samuel Casarin to the priesthood in Villa Cura Brochero, Cordoba, Argentina. Members from the various communities of the Saint John Society accompanied them during the ceremony. The St. John Society celebrates our 7:00pm Mass, and runs our ARK Young Adult Ministry and our Middle and High School Youth Programs.
Over the past few years, the ARK has been a place where I have been able to grow so much more than I thought possible. Jesus has used the ARK to call me deeper and deeper into relationship with Him, gifting me incredible opportunities and allowing me to do what I love.
A huge thanks to Apostolic Nuncio Cardinal Christophe Pierre for speaking to our young adult ARK community St. Ann Young Adults last week! We were tremendously blessed by his talk on Diplomacy and the Church! #youngadults
A graduating senior in the St. Ann Youth Program explains what he received from the Program during his years of involvement. His touching testimony is worth a read! Learn more about our Program at stanndc.org/youth
