Sleep In Sunday.

High Schoolers . . . Stay in bed!!!

That’s right. Next Sunday morning (October 14) all high school students are encouraged to stay in bed. Just think of it – – – no, “Oh mom do I HAVE to go to mass?” No, “None of my friends have to go. Why do I?” Stay in your room and . . . sleep!

How long you sleep in is up to you. But if you want to make a really good impression on mom and dad you might think about making some toast and eggs to be waiting for them when they get home (from mass, hopefully).

So what’s the deal? Why no mass next Sunday morning?

BECAUSE THERE’S A SPECIAL MASS FOR ALL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS NEXT SUNDAY NIGHT AT 7 PM. (THAT’S THE ONE YOU NEED TO BE AT!!!!)

So what’s so special about this mass? Well . . . you’ll be there and maybe you’ll bring a friend. There won’t be any adults except for Fr. Tim and two or three parents who helped make this get-together possible.

High schoolers are in charge. You’ll do the readings for mass, you’ll plan the music, you’ll do the petitions (Lord Hear our Prayer) . . . and . . . you’re going to have a chance to give your thoughts about the readings at homily time.

We hear every week what Fr. Tim or Fr. John thinks. Next week is your chance to say what YOU think.

So sleep in that morning and bring a friend that night to Church at 7 pm. Mass should last about 40 minutes.

AFTER MASS —- PIZZA & CELL PHONES

What’s a teen gathering without food? Bring your appetite ’cause there will be pizza for everybody.

While we eat there’s going to be a start-up of a social media platform that’s just for the high school students at Holy Trinity. Bring your cell phone that night and be ready to get this new app up and running.

It’s going to be a twitter feed you can access to find a spiritual message for the day. There will be a prayer request section for any needs you want prayed for. There will be a place where you can ask Fr. Tim for advice or get clarification on some issue you want to learn more about.

We’re just beginning this new initiative, so we need you to give us your ideas of what would be a help for you and your friends.

So . . . . . see you next Sunday night, 7 pm in Church. We’ll get you back home by 8:30.

Parents. Share this post with your high schooler. Encourage them to attend. Let’s do something new and good.

The glorious season of autumn is about to happen. God bless you.

Fr. Tim
