Crucial Conversations 3.0: Finding the Balance: Empowering the Whole Child
April 25, 7-8:30 PM

Tuesday Morning Group
We have gone through the Journey of Lent and walked with Jesus through Holy Week and celebrated with joy the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Resurrection is not the end.
Following His Resurrection from the dead, Jesus made a number of appearances to his followers-no less than ten of these are recorded in Scripture. Come with your Bible and
together we will lift up the words of scripture to see what Jesus was teaching his early followers and us in these weeks before his Ascension.
Berry Room of Hendricks Hall. April 10, 17 and 24. May 1, 8, and 15. We meet after 9:00 AM Mass and end about 11 AM.

This book is part of a Common Read in which Young Adult Ministry & Adult Faith Formation will be participating. Young Adults will meet with Laura Ginikos and the Other Adults will meet with Sister Teresa. At times, we will come together for common sharing.
HOW WE BELIEVE: Believing Catholic is a matter of knowing, understanding and responding to a story-the true story of God's love for us. It offers "the fundamentals that have to be there if thinking and practicing Catholic are going to have any appeal or make any sense."
HOW WE PRACTICE: Reflections on the behaviors that express our faith and our membership in the Church, such as going to Mass, receiving the sacraments and raising children Catholic. By being a practicing Catholic, we strengthen our behaviors so we can proclaim them to others.
HOW WE THINK: A series of thoughtful, pastoral and heartfelt reflections on all aspects of our lives in the world, seen through the eyes of one deeply faithful to the tradition and teachings of the church. Topics for "Thinking Catholic" include respect for life, spiritual maturity and a universal Church.

 EPIC News
A huge thank you to all of the students who participated in EPIC this year! Combined, our 230 7th and 8th graders provided about 1,500 hours of service to local organizations and people in need, and formed a wonderful community of young people at St. Brigid. Thanks also to all of our parent volunteers who put in many hours as well. We couldn't have EPIC without you and your service to our children and our parish.
Our last adventure for the school year was in April. Our 8th graders went to the Columbus Zoo and helped test and organize the Wildlights used for their winter celebration. The same day, our 7th graders went to a few of our parishioners' homes to help with outdoor spring cleanup (pictured).
Other accomplishments of our fabulous EPIC students this school year include:
- Winterized the property at TAASC - a non-profit that helps individuals with disabilities enjoy adaptive sports. We cleaned kayaks and vests, cleared debris and weeded, cleaned the inside of the building and cleaned out sheds, etc.
- Delivered more than 160 Thanksgiving meals to those in need in Dublin and Plain City.
- Made 100 blankets for children in foster care through My Very Own Blanket.
- Hosted the DSACO (Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio) school-aged social group, providing the kids with a fun day including parachute play, yoga, sensory bins, mini-bowling and basketball, legos, duck-duck-goose, musical chairs, an obstacle course and a dress-up dance party.
- Cleaned all of the pews in the church.
- Made 50 joke books for kids at Children's Hospital.
- Made 100s of dog toys for the Franklin County Dog Shelter.
- Delivered almost 2,000 lbs of food to the Dublin Food Pantry; then weighed, sorted, boxed and shelved the food in their warehouse.
- Visited two retirement homes, serving ice cream, bringing crafts, games and fun to the seniors.
EPIC has concluded meetings for this school year. Please watch the bulletin and Common Threads for more information this summer about next year's schedule and how to register. Rising 8th graders will need to re-register as well. Have a great summer!
