We’re excited to welcome Chloe Colbaugh to St. Michael’s this summer. She will be helping out with the youth in July and August at their retreats and marching with them at the Pride Parade. We’ll look forward to her joining us on July 1. Read more about Chloe in her own words here.

There’s still time to sign up for the first of two retreats this summer. This one is a St. Michael’s-only retreat happening on Monday-Wednesday, July 22-24, in Bend. The group will be staying at the home of parishioners right on the Deschutes River. The weekend will be filled with outside activities, sightseeing, prayer, song, games, teamwork, service projects and good food! Watch for information on a planning meeting in early July; but if your St. Michael’s youth is interested, please contact Scott+.

Then on Saturday-Sunday, August 3-4, the Diocese of Oregon is hosting another Hope & Fire overnight experience for young people in middle and high school at St. James in Lincoln City. Watch this space for details to come, including itinerary and packing list.
