Faith + Fun Events for Teens in Grades 7-12

The Shroud of Turin
March 8th | after the 4PM Mass
St. Bernard Church

Our Parish family is invited to join the Youth Ministry on March 8, 2025, for light refreshments and a presentation of The Shroud of Turin following the 4 PM Mass at St. Bernard Church. Deacon Alan Germain of the Archdiocese of Hartford will lead us on a journey of discovery!

The Shroud of Turin - is a centuries old linen cloth that bears the image of a crucified man. A man that millions believe to be Jesus of Nazareth. Is it really the cloth that wrapped his crucified body, or is it simply a medieval forgery, a hoax perpetrated by some clever artist? The shroud is the most scientifically studied artifact in history! Come and discover more details of what it might be or what it is!

All are welcome!

Attention Teens! Please SIGN-UP HERE to help before and during this event
