HOUSEHOLD LEADERS TRAINING
When? Saturday September 27, 2008
Details TBA.


SO, next weekend will be a free one (except for the leaders, eheheheh) but the Office of Catholioc Youth (OCY) are holding an event that I strongly encourage everyone to attend if they have a chance.

St. Michael's Cathedral 160th Anniversary
Saturday, September 27, 2008

Saturday, September 27, 2008 will mark the 160th anniversary of St. Michael’s Cathedral in Toronto. In recognition of this milestone, the Office of Catholic Youth, in partnership with St. Michael’s Cathedral, will be hosting a day of festivities, to which everyone is invited. Parishes are being encouraged to organize their own pilgrimages to the Cathedral for all parishioners. For parishes situated too far away to plan a walking pilgrimage, we suggest travelling together by TTC to St. Michael’s in time for the 5 pm Mass celebrated by Archbishop Collins.

An outdoor party with FREE food, beverages and live music will follow the 5:00 pm Mass

We are also encouraging groups or individuals to start their afternoon at the Office of Catholic Youth at the Newman Centre so that we may process together to the Cathedral.

Gathering @ the OCY / Neman Centre -- 2:00 pm

Procession to St. Michael's Cathedral -- 3:30 pm SHARP
Click here for map and procession route.

Mass, celebrated by Archbishop Collins -- 5:00 pm

Outdoor Party -- After Mass


Take Care, God bless!

Fellowship!

Hey guys! Praise God for the awesome GA (turned CGA..turned HHA) that we had on Saturday. Thank you also to SSW and SNW for crashing. HAHA, love you guys. It was so great seeing you all again. I missed worshipping with you guys! I'm glad the usual cycle of events is back in full swing. It's the start of a new school year and what better way to start it off than with your brothers and sisters in YFC. Let's make the most of this year, guys. In school and in service. :) All glory to God!

Alright, so this weekend we'll be having a Fellowship! Weird, I know but it works out. Trust me! ahah. While planning this event we figured that SSE hasn't been bowling in a loooong while so....thereforee.............it's time to have a........

BOWLING FELLOWSHIP
Where? All-Star Bowl (Danforth & Eglinton)
When? Saturday September 20, 2008
Time? 1PM - 3PM
How Much? I think a game is $2 and the shoes cost $3 to rent. So, bringing $10 should be enough unless you want to buy food or play more than just one game.

And praise praise praise God for blessing our C2 Jr. Dance and Jr. Band teams and allowing them to be victorious at Conference. How sweet it is to be loved by Him :)

CAMP SURRENDER!

Praise God for the success of Camp SURRENDER!! We had to overcome so many struggles during this camp and the many things hindering us from serving to our fullest but by the grace of our almighty God we did it. We got through it all and we strived till the very end for the glory of His kingdom. Praise God for His strength, love, and power which, I truly believe, are the only things that allowed us to make it through the camp with hopeful spirits and ever-strengthening faith. Despite all the challenges this camp faced, we are blessed to have a new group of brothers and sisters to be welcomed into our cluster. This is the beginning of a new chapter in their faith and we are blessed to be apart of their growth in the spirit!
Next week will be our Camp Surrender Covenant Orientation. Details are TBA.

Please keep the Parayno family in your prayers. They have been through a lot this past weekend but even within these struggles they've been truly blessed and saved by God. Pray that they hang on tight to God's strength and that they fight on with hope and perseverance in our Lord.
We are so thankful that you guys are okay and we're always praying for you. Be strong!

I hope you everyone has a great week. Take care, God bless! <3

HEY PEOPLE!

hey guys its joeboobmashoo and im just wanted to apologize for the lack of events, this weekend we were suppose to have a clusters leader assembly, but was cancelled due to the cfc's being on a retreat, instead we were planning on having a fellowship BUT because its easter, me and ates believed it wouldn't be appropriate to celebrate and have fun on saturday the day after jesus died for us. So once again we apologize and we will keep all ya'll informed about the next shindigmaroo that we have coming up.


**************
*IMPORTANT!*
**************

If you guys don't already know or have forgotten it is less than 2 weeks til Camp HD(in Heart's Direction) so if you memebers had any friends that were interested in coming talk to your household heads or even us or comment on this blogspot(p.s. we have a facebook group/event for the camp) and we can get you forms.


**************
*ALSO!*
**************

For those member's who are not serving in the camp or anything of that such, if you guys could lend support to the calayca's and attend the Fundraiser/event to help the family in their efforts to find Christina Calayca. The tickets are $40 for 'adults' and $12 for children 12 and under. I believe it is a semi-formal at a bandquet hall, i only took a quick glance at the tickets. This will be taking place on April 4th, which coincidentaly is on the same first day of Camp HD. So once again if you guys can help support the event that would be perfect, i understand that it is expensive so its understandable if you can't come but if you guys can make the effort that is perfect, because f.y.i.(for your information) Christina Calayca a 'long' time ago used to be the Chapter Head of what was once South Scarborough(before we split up) so it would be good to show support.


Alrighty stay tuned, keep an eye on the blogspot and

HAPPY EASTER!...with your day of monday when i ahve work still cause my company doesn't give monday off for work which isnt kool when all of you have a p.a. day...boo!



-Love you all,
Joseph F and Christink A ^_^

If the link isn't working for you, just ask Anj or I (Christine Ates) to send it to you.

Contact Anj Reodica at lil_mango_luver@msn.com

Unfortunately, the leaders will not be able to attend because it is the same day as the training but I strongly encourage all members to come out if you can.

Because the day coincides with Leaders Training, Andrea Reodica will be in charge of coordinating this event. So, if there are any questions or concerns please go to her for all the info :) We're planning a meet-up at Kennedy so that you can all travel together to the venue, that way it's more organized AND more chances for fellowship!

SO! Everyone coming has to be at Kennedy Station by 10:30 AM
DO NOT LET ANJ DOWN OR ME AND JOE WILL.........not be happy. ALRIGHT?

Alright! I hope everyone goes to this event cause it sounds like it's gonna be awesome. Again, any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact me, Joe, or Anj.

Don't forget to comment if you've read this all! You guys are such troopers, I've just realized my posts are always wicked long. Ahaha, my bad!

God Bless,
Christine Ates

HERE, ERNEST. HAPPY? :P

'FOOLS FOR CHRIST' HOUSEHOLD ASSEMBLY
Time: February 24
Place: CFC Office
All the rest is TBA. As always. Hello?

Hi :) Bye :)

In Christ,
Joseph and Christine but really only Christine, heyy

P.S. Due to the negative response I received in regards to the former grape-alicious background that previously hailed this blessed blog hotspot, I have been forced to convert to a more not-so-eye-irritating layout.
Meanies.. :(

C to the H to the A...CHANGES CHANGES! (bang bang)

Hai, guys! My name is Christine Ates. I am sixteen years old and currently attend UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO, BRAP BRAP (Lie, I go to Dame). Nice to meet you! So, I've been looking around the blogspots of some other chapters and I noticed most of them had a changes post so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon! That and it'd look real bad on Joe and I if we didn't inform you guys about what's going on.

Alright so, as most of you know, your former chapter heads Jamie and Jeff have been called to serve as the heads of Cluster 2! And in turn Miguel and Ashley are byebye :( Miguel is now program head for High School Based and Ashley is now a mission volunteer for Campus Based. And as for your new chapter heads....(drumroll please!)

BADA BADA BADA BADA BADA.....

Tis I, Christine Ates, and your brother Mr. Joseph Franco! HEYYY!
Yes, I am originally from South West. Yes, a lot of you may not know me that well. Yes, I do autographs. Yes, I'm eager to grow with all of you. Yes, I'm really not Korean. Yes, I am excited to be here. YES!

And since we're going on about changes, it's probably good that you know about what's going on in our cluster as a whole.

SOUTH WEST: Mr. Ramuel Villardo, former chapter head of SSW, has been called to serve as head of Cluster 1 and in turn Mr. Chris Rizarri is taking his place.......and the female chapter head is still Servie Servs (yay?... <3)
NORTH WEST: Ernest Gomba is still chapter head along with his brand new counterpart Ms. Amalia Reodica! YAY! Amee, we shall miss you!

Alright, so there you have it! The changes have now been revealed and have fully come into effect. I know that for a lot of us, these changes are really big and might take some getting used to but I pray that hopefully everyone can welcome it with an open heart.

Thanks to Miguel & Ashley for all they've done for us as a cluster. It's truely been a blessing having you guys as our cluster heads and we'll miss you two a lot. Take care and we wish you all the best in your new respective programs :)

Thanks to Jeff and Jamie for all they've done for this chapter. We know you guys are gonna make us proud as our new cluster heads and Joe and I will do our best to be even half the leaders you guys were. LOVELOVELOVE!

ALRIGHT, SOUTH EAST! I'm so excited to be serving with all of you guys. Let's keep on moving forward with all these new changes in tact. NEXT WEEK WE HAVE A..

"FOOLS FOR CHRIST" HOUSEHOLD ASSEMBLY
Saturday, February 16 2007
Everything else is TBA.

Please, keep checking the blogspot for all updates, changes, and info on what's going on.
Once again, uber excited to be serving with all of you. Can't wait to see you guys (hopefully) next weekend!

In Him,
Christine Ates
