‘LOL’ CHURCH YOUTH GROUP THANKS LOCALS

August 14, 2013 - 1:08 am

Our Lady of the Valley’s youth group, “LOL,” went to San Diego “Steubenville” for a youth conference. LOL attended a three-day youth conference, followed by two days at Campland on the Bay.

We would like to give a special thanks to Saitta Trudeau, who in part made it possible once again, by donating their vans.

We would also like to thank our parish and the community for all their generous support throughout the year.
