High
School
At the beginning of this third millennium, you
too, young
people, are called
to proclaim the message of the Gospel with the
testimony of your lives. The Church
needs your energies,
your enthusiasm,
your youthful ideals
to ensure that the Gospel permeates the fabric
of society and inspires a civilization of authentic
justice and love without discrimination.

Bread of Life –
Formerly Youth 2000:
After working for three years
under the banner of Youth 2000, we have been
very well trained and are really prepared to
run this thing ourselves. “Bread of Life”
is our new name. The Bread of Life is hosting
Holy Hours (a Eucharist-centered prayer service),
to help youth and young adults grow in their
faith and spiritual lives through an encounter
with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. These evenings
will feature dynamic and inspiring music (like
at the Youth 2000 Retreat), Scripture readings,
reflections, and prayer. Pizza, conversation
and fun will follow! We especially invite and
welcome teens, college students and young adults
who are looking for hope, healing, guidance
and strength in their complex lives, but anyone
is welcome to attend!
Holy Hours are held from 6 –
7 p.m., and are followed by pizza, discussion
& fun activities until 8:30 pm on the following
Sundays:
Sunday, October 12, 2008, 6:00
p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Sunday, November 9, 2008, 6:00 p.m. to 8:30
p.m.
Sunday, December 14, 2008, 6:00 p.m. to 8:30

Quigley Scholars
Program:
The Quigley Scholars Program was
designed and instituted by Francis Cardinal
George in 2007 to provide support for Catholic
young men in the Archdiocese of Chicago who
have interest in the diocesan priesthood. Candidates
for the scholarship must be baptized, practicing
Roman Catholics, show an interest in the diocesan
priesthood, be recommended by their home parish
pastor, and maintain a 3.0 GPA. Scholars attend
once-per-month formational meetings at St. Joseph
College Seminary, and devote themselves to attendance
at mass, prayer, parish service, and other activities
vital to their discernment. Scholars also receive
a scholarship to help offset tuition at a four-year
Catholic high school in the Archdiocese of Chicago.
