Dear Youth of St. Peter Catholic Church,

When I was in high school my church had tons of stuff just for people in high school.  We had:

• a trip to build a Habitat for Humanity house every summer
• fun trips to whitewater raft, watch NBA and NFL games, backpack in the mountains
• at least one retreat every year just for the kids in high school
• service events and days when we’d work to help the homeless or clean a local river or even raise money to buy goats for poor women in Africa
• a trip to the Dominican Republic to visit and teach poor kids
• conferences in Washington, D.C. with high school kids from all around the country 

I want YOU to have these opportunities too.
