Sunday, July 5, 7:00 p.m.
On Sundays and Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m., ProjectYM will be broadcasting the Alpha Youth Experience online. Each week will include games, surprise guests, and the Alpha Youth Series. In order to use this opportunity to its fullest potential, we will host discussion groups online through Lifesize (similar to what we did this spring, but at the same time, rather than before or after). When ProjectYM launches each week, guests will begin toggling back and forth between the broadcast and our parish Lifesize group. This is the Discussion Guide for this week:
https://run.alphausa.org/alphas/edit/34154/upcoming
The exact same content is being offered two different times for 9 weeks, 7:00-8:30 p.m.:
Sundays (beginning June 14), in person at St. John's hall (come in the door facing the rectory on the right side as you're facing the church) -- this is a very big room, allowing us to be 6 feet apart -- we are also hoping to do some things outside as much as possible. We will be following these Guidelines.OR
Wednesdays (beginning June 17), online only, using https://call.lifesizecloud.com/4401218
Passcode: 782020 or call in 1 (877) 422-8614, meeting extension: 4401218#, passcode: 782020. Then, in a separate tab, open https://projectym.com/watch/
Once you are on the Project YM page, scroll to the bottom and click the red "Click Here to Log In" button. Then enter your name and your parent's email address. After you submit this, you will be given a unique link to join the broadcast (it will also be emailed to you).
Please do invite friends as well, as this is very much NOT "for Youth Ministry kids only"!
Sat., July 11, 2020, 6:00 p.m.

Pray:
The day is rooted in common prayer. We will encourage you to take an active role in praying the Liturgy of the Hours and in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. There will also be plenty of time given just to look at the sky, kick rocks, and enjoy life in God’s company.
Work:
You will be able to work on meaningful projects together with friends and adult guides. Projects include a mix of outdoor landscape work and indoor projects.
Serve:
Service will begin with one another. You will also have the opportunity to work on service projects for the parish.
Love:
Above all things, the purpose of the Summer Youth Conclave is to build friendships. Working and praying together with other youth from the parish will help you really get to know others. And there will be time for fun: there will be various outdoor and indoor games throughout the day.

From the Bangor Daily News:
Sisters Taylor Guerrette, 18, and Allie Guerrette, 19, of Hampden usually attend weekend Mass with their parents at St. Matthew Catholic Church on Western Avenue in Hampden but they came to the 8:30 a.m. Mass in Bangor on Monday.
“It’s been so long,” Allie Guerrette said. “We’ve been very eager to get back. It’s a great feeling to be able to see our fellow parishioners.”
Her sister agreed.
“To be back with the Lord —- nothing else compares to it,” Taylor Guerrette said. -
