Next is Cyber Monday where we search for the best deals on line. And last, but not least is Giving Tuesday. It’s a fairly new concept that is paving ways for a different kind of gift giving.

Youth Ministry: How You Belong in the Church
Often times once you are confirmed in the church, you may struggle with a reason to attend Mass anymore. You feel as though you have learned
