ASP Blessing and Departure

July 22, 2023

We are happy to report that our Parish Youth Ministry again fully staffed 2 counties for ASP. They started heading on July 22, 2023, to the 2 ASP Centers in Knott County: Lotts Creek and Carrie, where they will put into practice their Critical Home Repair and Replacement Skills to help the Appalachian Families in need through their mission trip until July 29, 2023. We prayed for our teens and blessed them at the 5 pm Mass in the Courtyard of St. Giles on July 16, 2023.

Love Strong, the 2023 ASP theme, based on Luke 10:27 – “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and Love your neighbor as yourself.” This connects deeply with ASP’s core value of “accepting people right where they are and just the way they are.” When we accept all people, share God’s love with them and embrace them as neighbor – we become those who Love Strong.
