Lent is an important time of the year for youth groups. There are plenty of activities already planned in most parishes, so try and tap into them.

St. Patrick
Most people think of St. Patrick’s day as a day to party, however St. Patrick is an incredible saint and role model for young people. Dive into his life because the teens will benefit greatly.
Confession
Like St. John Bosco said, “The three spiritual fountains are the Eucharist, Mary, and frequent confession.
Holy Thursday
