What Are God’s Plans for Me?
Event for Middle and High School Teens-St. Joseph Catholic Church and School- Saturday, April 17th 10 am-3pm

The Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia and our seminarians, Ryan Budd and Deacon Phillip Szabo will present this event.
Please sign up by Tuesday, April 13 by emailing or calling, Linda Abrahamian, [email protected] or (304)279-2315 or for more information. There is no cost and lunch will be provided.
