Bring $5 to chip in for the pizza – don’t worry, it will just be cheese and vegetable topping!

The funds donated to the Pilgrimage to World Youth Day 2016 will support our Snows Youth Ministry pilgrims to Krakow, Poland. The teens will be celebrating mass with Pope Francis, spending missionary days at the diocese and more! World Youth Day is scheduled for the end of July 2016. The Diocese of Reno will be taking a group of approximately 40 pilgrims to Krakow to join Pope Francis and the World Youth Day celebrations. We are delighted to have 12 young adults from Our Lady of the Snows.
Thank you for your support for the Snows Youth Ministry “Pilgrims to World Youth Day 2016.” Please keep us in your prayer; any support that you can offer is much appreciated. Below is more information about the pilgrimage:
2016 World Youth Day will take place in Krakow, Poland with our Holy Father Pope Francis. The theme for this World Youth Day is, "Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy" (Matthew 5:7). The location is significant as Blessed John Paul II was born in Poland and was the Archbishop of Krakow prior to his election as pope. The them is additionally important as St. Faustina is also a native of Poland. Blessed John Paul II made her the first saint to be canonized in the new millennium, and described her as the "great apostle of Divine Mercy in our time."
