To the members of the parish: As you know each year our Diocese has a Catholic Youth Convention in Belleville.  The last few years though, the Dahlgren Parish has struggled to get there.  We have been a little leaderless, but not anymore. Recently Lisa (Greg) Rapp and Kelly Karcher have stepped up and decided to be the youth leaders of our parish. Kudos to them!  And as of last Sunday, we have now gotten an organized youth group now equipped with officers.  The officers were decided by popular vote: Treasure-Ali Zachman, Secretary-Alex Shelton, Vice President-Cameron Shelton, and President-DJ Zachman.  Now that we have an organized group, we would like to start being more active in the church and hosting fundraisers.  As you know we have been having a cake sale in the back of church on Sundays and are hosting a raffle on March 7^th after church.  The prizes we have so far are:  $75.00 gas card to Hucks, $50.00 cash, pampered chef basket, can good organizer, Avon basket, blanket, monopoly ESPN game, box full of camp rock stuff, coffee mug set, scented bath set, 2 gift baskets. Thank you to all who donated.  If you would like to purchase raffle tickets you should contact a CYM member, Kelly Karcher, or Lisa (Greg) Rapp.

Also, thank you to the members of the church who donated cash to help us with the cost of expenses, as well as the registration fee being paid for the members going to the Diocesan Convention.  We appreciated everyone who has donated to help the youth go to convention and grow in our faith and get to know God. Again, the youth and our leaders are very appreciative of all the support the church members have provided. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers, and we will as well!  Dahlgren CYM

Father Joe & Fr. Slawomir:   CAN OF WORMS  A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.  Four worms were placed into four separate jars.  The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.  The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.  The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.  The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.  At the conclusion of the sermon the Minister reported the following results:  The first worm in alcohol-Dead.  The second worm in cigarette smoke-Dead.  The third worm in chocolate syrup-Dead.  The fourth worm in good clean soil-Alive.  So the Minister asked the congregation...What did you learn from this demonstration?  Maxine was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said, "As long as you drink, smoke, and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"  That pretty much ended the service.  May God bless You.  Fr Joe.
