What's Your Frame?
Our lives are shaped by the way we see the world and our place in it. In youth group, we have been looking at our life frame and all of it's pieces. We also looked at many images of Jesus to decide which one we connected with the most. Here are a few, which one do you connect with?

Meet the New Youth Minister
Hi! I’m Michelle Hess, the new Youth and Confirmation Coordinator. I am originally from Rockford, MI and graduated from the University of Dayton with a Bachelor of Music in Music Education degree. After college, I served for a year with the Holy Cross Associates working with Catholic Charities in Brockton, MA. Following my associate year, I moved to Steamboat Springs, CO where I taught elementary music and volunteered with music and youth ministry at Holy Name Parish. I am currently pursuing my Masters of Music in Music Education from Silver Lake College in Manitowoc, WI. So, how does all of this add up to youth ministry in Hastings, MN? I can only give the credit to the Holy Spirit!! When God wants me to do something, He doesn’t whisper, He makes it happen. I would love to share more of my story with you. I am sure that I am called to be here, but this is my first time working full time in youth ministry, so I humbly ask for your patience. I am extremely excited to get started and I am already praying for the youth of our parish. I am happy to listen to concerns, suggestions, ideas, prayer requests, and stories of alien encounters. I hope that together with the Holy Spirit we can create a youth program that will bring our teens to the hope and love of Jesus Christ. Please pray for us!!
