Six high school aged Saint Mary parishioners attended the Year of Mercy Youth Day at the Kirksville Newman Center this past Sunday. The day of prayer was a Deanery-wide event lead by students from Truman State University and the staff of the Kirksvile Newman Center.
The day began with mass in the Newman Center chapel, followed by lunch and social time, then refections from several university students on their personal faith experience. The event concluded with an hour of adoration and opportunities to celebrate the sacrament of reconciliation.
