Summer Service Project
Fr. Zach is looking for a group of young people from our parish to join him in taking part in McDonald Presbyterian Church's annual service week, July 28-30. We will be doing outdoor work (weeding, painting, etc.) at the homes of the elderly and disabled in our area. Anyone in junior high or high school is welcome to participate. Any adults who want to chaperone and work this event are also welcome, but safe environment clearances will be needed. Although it is still a couple months away, we would like to know soon (for planning purposes) who will be joining us. If you are interested, or if you have any questions, please contact Fr. Zach at 724-695-7325 or zgaliyas@diopitt.org.

What is youth group? An opportunity for teenagers in grades 8 - 12 to come together in a relaxed atmosphere and deepen their faith.
Is it the same as CCD? Not at all. CCD is classroom-based and heavily focused on education. In youth group, there are no classrooms, textbooks, or homework. While learning is part of the picture, youth group also includes a mix of social time, prayer, recreational outings, and/or service projects.
Life is SO busy! Why should we make the time to go to youth group? It’s more than worth it! Youth group is where faith intersects with real life. You will learn things about life, about God, about faith, and about making good decisions. What you get from youth group will benefit you for the rest of your lives! Plus, it’s a great place to make friends! Besides that, youth group does not take up a lot of time. We usually only meet about twice a month.
What if we can’t be there all the time? No worries! We don’t take attendance and mark people absent. Just come whenever you can!
What if we’re on the fence about youth group? Then come to a few events to see if it’s for you. Youth group is one of those things that you really can’t make an informed decision about until you experience it for yourself. Just give it a try! You have nothing to lose, but everything to gain!
