Give It Up For 3 Hours This Saturday Morning, 9 AM until Noon @ St. Eulalia Church, Maywood, IL

Fr. John Cusick
Director, Young Adult Ministry Office

Our Lenten Reflection for this Saturday will not be on Facebook. Instead it will be “live”, face-to-face, person-to-person...

We want you to make this “reflection” a part of your Lenten practice this year. So, we are asking you to re-arrange your Saturday schedule. Get up a little early. Make your way to St. Eulalia. You will be on your way home at high noon.

Join Fr. John Cusick, Ms. Elise Ainsworth, Dr. Kate DeVries, Mr. Terry Shelley,  and some of the other characters that are part of young adult ministry in Chicago. We will do a little preaching, some singing, time for personal reflecting, conversing with one another. And we will be back in our cars by High Noon!

Why should you come to this? Easy! It’s Lent. That’s why! No excuses. Make the time and go the extra mile for 3 hours.

Why at St. Eulalia? Believe it or not, it is centrally located for almost all young adults in the Chicagoland area. You can see the Church from the Eisenhower (I-290) expressway. So, if you live in the city, make your way to I-290 and follow the directions below. If you live in the northern or southern ‘burbs, make your way to I-290 and follow the same directions listed here.

It would be easy to find a “good” reasons to talk yourself out of attending this “live” Lenten reflection. "I won’t know anybody."  "It’s too far."  "I don’t have time."  "Going to a Church thing feels weird ."  Come anyway. 

Let go of all the excuses. It’s Lent! You owe I to yourself. You owe it to the Lord.

No excuses.

Give it up on Saturday ….for a mere 3 hours!

See you there.

Fr. John Cusick
