Please make sure that they are aware of these events. Hi everyone, Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! We hope you are doing well. We are so excited to share the following SOYO updates: 1.Please see the email below from the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America regarding a retreat and Trivia Tournament—this is open to all teens in any diocese!!! It should be a really fun time. You’ll find all the information below to register and participate. We hope to see you there! If you have any questions, please let me know! Registration deadline is Jan 14! THAT IS TODAY! 2. Midwest SOYO is selling specially designed masks with an Orthodox cross. A graphic is attached. To order, please complete the info on this form: https://forms.gle/ 3. Amal and I would like to start meeting at least once a month with everyone again. It’s been a while since we connected. Stay tuned for another email with dates and times. 4. PLEASE SHARE ALL OF THIS WITH YOUR TEENS! 🙂 Julia Email regarding WAMP Retreat and Trivia Tournament: I wanted to send you all information for our upcoming Wannabe WAMP Retreat and Trivia Tournament! This event will closely mirror our fall retreat in format. In fact, it’s going to be exactly the same, but with a different speaker AND we are inviting teens in any diocese to participate! We will meet via Zoom on our traditional Wamp Saturday, which is January 16th at 2:00 (Central time). Fr Anthony Baba has graciously agreed to be our speaker. He will talk for about 25-30 minutes, then we will utilize Zoom’s breakout room function to have small group discussions. We are hoping these breakouts offer time for real questions and connections. After the discussions, Fr. Anthony will offer a quick wrap up and then our Dowama Youth Directors will host the Ultimate SOYO Kahoot Trivia Challenge! Everyone will be able to participate from their devices. There will be a major prize! We realize that restrictions and guidelines vary pretty drastically across our archdiocese. If you and your teens are able to gather safely at your parish or in a home, please feel free to tune in as a group on Zoom. We can provide you with the breakout questions and you can facilitate an in person discussion! If not, we will have leaders ready for each group (teens will be split up by age) online. This is still simply a “making lemonade” effort by our diocese youth directors. But like the flyer says, it’s better than nothing! I’m excited to participate and hopefully see faces from across our archdiocese. Please ask your teens to register using this Google form: www.tinyurl.com/WannabeWamp This will allow us to send the Zoom link and password directly and avoid intruders. It will also help us prepare for how many small group leaders we will need. in HIM, erin ghata Youth Director I pray you all have a blessed weekend! Father John Mangels, pastor |
