Dear Saint Katharine Drexel Congregation,
As we transition into fall, we are thrilled to announce a host of exciting events for Youth Ministry and some that we would like to invite the whole community.
1. “Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati” Talk and Hike (for the whole community):
We are opening our fall lineup with a special invitation to our entire community. Please mark your calendars for the “Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati” Talk and Hike:
- Date: Friday 15 September
- Time: 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
- Location: Saint Katharine Drexel Church
Join us on Friday evening for an enlightening talk where we will delve deeper into the inspiring life of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, followed by a time of adoration.
But that’s not all! On Saturday 16 September, we invite you to meet us at the Catoctin Mountain Park Visitor Center (14707 Park Central Rd, Thurmont, MD 21788) at 10:00 AM for a hike that embodies Pier Giorgio’s famous motto, “To the Heights.” It’s an opportunity to connect with nature while reflecting on our own spiritual journeys.
