Question 41: Does science make the Creator superfluous?

Answer: No. The sentence "God created the world" is not a scientific statement, but a theo-logical one. That is, a statement about the divine meaning of the origin of things. It is more explaining God's relation to the world than how the world came to be. 

Per the Diocese of Kalamazoo, ALL YOUTH MINISTRY is currently suspended through Easter. Please pray for the health of everyone and that we may return to our regular schedule soon!
 

Where: St. Martin of Tours' Youth Center
When: Sundays, 5:30-7:30 pm

We are centered around building a community of faith and joy. We meet weekly and are rooted in understanding the joys of our Catholic faith. We do this by community building activities, field trips, and service opportunities.

All Middle School and High School students are welcome to join. Also, if you wish to be a part of the ministry team, please contact our office. 

For further information about the Youth Ministry program, contact Shannon Sheets at ym@stmartinvicksburg.org

How Can You Help our Youth?

1) Turn in your receipts! SpartanNash receipts from Family Fare Supermarket and D&W stores can be placed in the basket on the youth table in the narthex and can help the youth earn $1,000! (For a receipt to be eligible, you must be a Family Fare savings card member and "Direct Your Dollars" will be printed at the bottom of your receipt.) 

2) Bottles & Cans! These can be left by the rectory/parish garage and will be returned by the youth group. Thank you!

3) Scrap Metal! This is our biggest fundraiser. Please drop it off in the NE corner of the parking lot or contact us to pick it up from you.

Our Youth Ministry team runs on the generous support of parishioner donations. These donations help with Catholic Heart Work Camp, retreats, and field trips to basilicas, cathedrals, convents, etc. Your generosity is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
