Youth Services at St. Columba Parish
Proposed Calendar and Tentative Plan for 2024-2025
Director: Sister Suzanne
Dear Parents,
This coming Sunday, Oct. 6 is youth group. If it doesn’t rain I want us to gather at Maylath Farm and Orchard at 599 Rock Glen Rd. in Sugarloaf. They have a corn maze, hayride, food, plus so much more. Check out their website. I am suggesting we arrive at 3:00 and stay till 5:00. It seems like fun in a deluxe fashion! But your child would need to bring money, about $15. The corn maze and hay ride cost plus food.
If it rains we will have our youth group at St. Columba’s at 4:00 to 5:30 on Oct. 6 with woodworking and reschedule our trip to the farm for Oct. 20. If we go to the farm on Oct. 6 woodworking is on Oct. 20.
The turn out in Sept. of 18 young people was so encouraging. So I am offering two youth group events in Oct. Please RSVP so I will know who to expect, thank you!
Please use this link to register each child for a program.
