Girls Night of Fun & Faith for JH & HS
Junior high and high school girls from any of the Iowa City area parishes are invited for a special evening of fun and faith-building at St Patrick's, on Saturday, September 24th, from 8:00 - 10:00 pm. There's no cost, but RSVP is needed by Saturday, Sep. 17 for planning purposes.
Moms (and/or older sisters) of girls attending are invited to come as well! You’ll begin by working with the other “special guests” on a few surprise things for the girls and later join the full group for dessert in the Social Hall and prayer in the Sacred Heart Chapel to close out the evening. They will welcome sharing of "God moments" from your own life during dessert time if you’re comfortable sharing (very informally, just talking around the table).
Please email [email protected] for more information and/or to RSVP for this fun event.
