Youth Newz&
The last Odyssey session will be Wednesday April 24th. At that time all students are expected  to be prepared to present their "Leader for a Day" assignments. Students, you are to imagine that you are the leader of the world for a day. You have the power to make any change that you want. What would you do and how would you do it? You must be specific. Your plan/idea must reflect your Christian morality and must be an attempt to make a positive impact on humanity. You may choose any manner to present your idea (i.e. writing a paper, creating a display, making a video, writing a song). If you have questions, call Sara (763-754-7666) or ask your Odyssey group leader.

FUNERAL PLANNING WORKSHOP
Thursday, April 25 at 7:00 p.m. 
St. Joseph Hall. 

Have you ever thought about your funeral?  How do I prepare for what I have to do when my parent dies?  When should I involve the parish priest?  These are      difficult questions.  We are offering an informational night to address these and any other questions people may have regarding what to do in advance of the time of death of someone close to us.  Howard Lang,               professional funeral planner, will be our presenter. 
This is strictly an information session. There will be no "selling" at this meeting.  No mortuaries will be represented.  No cost.  No obligation. 


Sponsored by St. John's Prime Timers.
