Project Graduation Graduation may seem so far off, if you are the parent of a freshman, but it is really amazing how that even comes barreling towards you with each year completed. Even if you are the parent of a sophomore or junior, it may be one of those events that you decide can be tackled when it is on your doorstep. To some extent that is true, but thinking ahead to the festivities that surround that event, and the safety that you desire for your child's celebrating is the stuff of our prayers today. Many of you are familiar with Project Graduation, but you may not be aware of the planning that must be done in order to supply the celebrating and safety that your child will enjoy when that time comes. We have been blessed to have a couple that have headed up this event for several years, and it has operated like a well oiled machine. They have left us with a wonderful structure and detailed instructions for the 2 fundraising events and the grand lock-in which follows graduation. Would you consider stepping up for next year and leading a team to ensure that Project Graduation continues to serve the upcoming graduating classes? Ideally a team of 2 or 3 could divide leading in the responsibilities of Trivia Night and Project Graduation. If at least two of those parents come from the freshman or sophomore class, then only one leader needs to be replaced each year and the experience of the remaining chairmen assures a smoother operation each year. Please consider serving in this role next year, but don't wait until next year to get involved. We could use your help now, and the experience will provide some confidence when the senior parents that are serving this year rotate off.
First Friday Adoration We are in need of parents to spend one hour in Adoration each first Friday of the month. Our first one for the semester is this Friday, February 7. The 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. time slots are still vacant, but please sign-up for any time you're available. To arrange this beautiful time in prayer, please contact Khira Rotty by email (rottyk@sbaeagles.org) or phone (260-2846), or go to http://www2.signupgenius.com/go/4090B4AABAF2DA13-adoration
to fill in a time slot.

2014 MOTHER/DAUGHTER PROGRAMS Sunday, March 23
Sunday, March 30
for 10* - 12 year old girls 2:00 - 5:00 p.m.
for 13 - 16 year old girls 2:00 - 5:30 p.m.
(This program will fill up very quickly. Please register early.)
Saint Francis Hospital Auditorium 5959 Park Avenue The Mother/Daughter Programs explore God’s special gift of human fertility and the beauty and wonder of God’s plan for growing up and becoming a woman. Topics include: the changes in a young woman’s body as it prepares for motherhood; the onset of ovulation and subsequent menstrual periods; the functions of the female reproductive system; the sacredness of human life; the virtue of chastity; and a question and answer segment. Healthy dating ideas with a strong emphasis on chastity and reverence for our sexuality are also discussed with the older girls. It is good to come to both programs at the age appropriate time for each girl since the older girls’ program is an extension of the first one. The purpose of the programs is to provide an atmosphere of love and learning to discuss the important topic of growing up and to establish a foundation for continued communication between parent and child. The programs are presented by Natural Family Planning Teachers who will emphasize respect, understanding and appreciation for God’s gifts.
*Girls younger than 10 who are already developing and showing signs of puberty are also welcome to attend. Discount fee is $25.00 per family (non-refundable) if RECEIVED 6 days PRIOR to selected program. Within 6 days of each program, the fee is $30.00 per family (non-refundable.)
(If you have daughters in both age groups and need to attend both programs, the cost is $40.00 per family for both programs if RECEIVED by March 17, After March 17, the fee is $45.00 per family.)
Refreshments will be served. Seating is limited and pre-registration is required.
