Throughout the year, several members of the parish have been praying for a teen in the youth group through our new Church Buddy program. These "Church Buddies" only knew the name of the teen for whom they were praying, and the teens did not know who their prayer buddy was. Last Friday, April 21, the teens and their prayer buddies finally got to meet and spend some time getting to know each other. The teens had an opportunity to meet some of the members of our various ministries at SJTE and learn about their service to the church, as well as make a new friend they can say hello to at Mass and keep in touch with as a spiritual prayer partner. As a group, we definitely felt their prayers throughout this year, and it was beautiful to see all of the new relationships forming between these teens and their buddies at the reveal dinner. Thank you to all of our Church Buddies for your prayers, and welcome to our YOUnite family!
