The Life Night on February 9, 2014 was all about the Sacraments of the Eucharist and Holy Orders.  We talked in-depth about what the Church means when she says that the Eucharist is the source and summit of Christian life, and how the Sacrament of Holy Orders is a gift of order to the Church.  After this talk, the teens discussed ways to more fully enter into the Mass and gain an appreciation for the awesome power present in the Blessed Sacrament.

On January 30, 2013, Brad Schmidt gave a presentation to parents of 6-12 grade students about the issue of sexual purity among teens, and how parents can better equip their sons and daughters to deal with temptation in a healthy way. This is an updated version of the talk originally given in May of 2011.

The handout, listing online resources for parents and teens, as well as some guidance about how and when to address these issues is online at http://www.ctkcc.net/?p=940064. This handout also includes things to look for to help identify if this is an issue in your family.
