"Let Me Hear You Catholics"
On February 8th-10th 59 teens and adults from St. Martin's youth group gathered with 2000 of their closest Catholic friends for a weekend of prayer, praise, laughter, and healing. The event was a fantastic experience for all. The retreat was run by the seminarians of Mount St. Mary's Seminary. Many priests, seminarians, and religious sisters and
brothers shared this amazing expereince with us and were beautiful witnesses for our young people.
One highlight of the event was a special walk to the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in hopes of receiving a plenary indulgence for visiting this holy place of Mary a few days before Her feast day. We also celebrated the Holy Sacrafice of the Mass together and spent time with Jesus in Eucharistic adoration.
Please continue to pray for the youth of our Church. Indeed as our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI says,"the Church is young." 2000 young people were sent forth this weekend to bring the light of Christ to their families, schools, and communities. Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever!
I love it when you say we're Pro-Li ife!
What a weekend for St. Martin's youth!!!
On Saturday, we gathered prayerfully in front of a local abortion clinic to pray for an end to abortion; the conversion of abortion doctors; and for help for mothers facing unplanned pregnancies. On Monday night, we heard a talk from the national chastity speaker Angie King. We also hosted two concerts and featured performances by Tony Melendez, the Lee Roessler Band, and our very own Saving7Seven! Tuesday, we concluded our activities by joining thousands of pro-life Americans in Washington, DC for the March for Life. This was a fantastic weekend jam packed with exciting music, inspiring witness talks, and powerful moments of prayer.

For All Who Thirst
"It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; he is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is he who provokes you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is he who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is he who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be grounded down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal."
