Faith Alive Update

What is Faith Alive?

Faith Alive is the Young Adult Ministry at St. Dominic. Faith Alive invites everyone in their 20's and 30's, single or married, with or without children, to deepen their faith through our Social, Service and Spiritual programs. If you are a young adult who is interested in learning more, email us at stdomfaithalive@gmail.com or simply show up at one of our events!

Every Friday in Lent St. Dominic hosts a Fish Fry in the school cafeteria. Various groups assist at these Fish Fries in order to fund their ministries throughout the year. This Friday, March 12th, is Faith Alive's turn to host. If you would like to volunteer a few hours, your help would be much appreciated. There will be two 2-hour shifts (4:30-6:30pm and 6:30-8:30pm). The tasks which need to be completed are stress-free ones such as collecting money for dinner orders, busing tables, and selling pop. Each shift will need 5-7 volunteers.

If you would like to help at either or both of the shifts, please let me know. You may contact me at either this email address, or at adam.green.sd@gmail.com, or (216)991-1444 x171.
