On Saturday evening, four youth and three adults from this parish traveled to Biloxi, Mississippi for a week of service to help in the rebuilding process in the Gulf Coast. While it wasn't exactly clear what type of work they would be doing for the week, the group was confident that they would be working in Waveland, a town being supported by an organization in Jefferson City called Jeff City Helps. The picture on the left shows part of the parish grounds at St. Clare Church in Waveland, MS. You can find more pictures and more opportunities to help by going to:

Keep checking in on this blog for periodic updates on the work that the Youth Group is doing. We will also post pictures of their efforts here, and on the parish youth ministry website, when they return. Please keep the Youth Group, as well as the community that they are supporting, in your prayers during this week.
