Junior High Rally - REGION II REPRESENT!!!
Britta Folden, OYYAM Events Coordinator is trying to fill in the leader positions for Rally and she could use some help...
Currently, we have two potential youth speakers, but neither have been confirmed and it would be good to have a few others to choose from.
Also, we need a couple of groups to lead a prayer during each of the 2 general sessions.
Lastly, we need 2 readers and servers for Mass.
This is a great way to be directly involved with Rally and get some buzz going among your youth to participate in this annual event!
Britta can be contacted at 206.382.2010 or britta.folden@seattlearch.org

Letter from Haiti: Thank You All
Click here to go to a letter from senior communications officer for CRS, Caroline Brennan, who is in Haiti to report on the progress of earthquake recovery efforts on February 4, 2010
She closes the letter with the following...
In the meantime, thank you for making this possible and please keep the people of Haiti in your thoughts and prayers.
A saying is popular in Haiti that you can hear on the streets and in camps:
"Nou bite men nou pap tonbe. We may stumble but we will not fall."
Indeed, with your support, few things have rung so true.

Sometimes it is important to laugh...
The following joke comes from Jim at Totally Catholic Fundraising (one of our booths at Youth Convention) at info@totallycatholicfundraising.com:
After receiving a beautiful haircut, a doctor asks the barber, "How much do I owe you?""Oh, I never charge a doctor," the barber replies. "You all do such good, important work."
The next morning, the barber arrives at his shop and finds a thank you note and a bottle of wine on his doorstep from the doctor.
Later that day, a police officer walks into the same barbershop. After a beautiful haircut, the police office asks the barber, "How much do I owe you?""Oh, I never charge a police officer," the barber replies. "You all do such good, important work."
The next morning, the barber arrives at his shop and finds a thank you note and a box of candy on his doorstep from the police officer.
Later that day, a youth minister walks into the same barbershop. After a beautiful haircut, the youth minister asks the barber, "How much do I owe you?""Oh, I never charge a youth minister," the barber replies. "You all do such good, important work."
The next morning, the barber arrives at his shop and finds twelve youth ministers on his doorstep.
