Hey everyone! EJ here. Hows you? Yea? Good? That's so good to hear. Oh really? Wow! Haha no way! Haha man, you crack me up!

*ahem* Well anyways... For those who attended Saturdays Household Leaders training awesome! But for those who didn't we were invited to a youth retreat even this saturday the 23rd. This event will replace this months "Household Assembly", so try to go! We encourage you all to support this because they support us!

Here are the details:

Sunday, February 24: 12pm- 6pm
Where? Bishop Marroco High SchoolAddress: 1515 Bloor St. W- Outside of Dundas West Station

Holy Mass with Archbishop of Toronto Thomas CollinsEntertainment & Recreation, Praise & Worship Music, Reconciliation & Music Festival

So yea, the cost covers BOTH days but as you can see, it's not a sleepover thing. So you guys can come on just saturday, which we all encourage you to do!

This is an AWESOME oppurtunity to go out and meet other youths that love God, but aren't in YFC neccessarilly. So try and make it kays?

Your household heads should be calling you all with this info if anything. Also, Ram and Febs (our cluster heads) want an estimate on how many people are going by this WEDNESDAY! So, household heads encourage your members to go and tell us who can go and what not by wednesday.

Anyways, time to go back and play some Pokemon

Peace, Love, and God bless,

Back and running!

OMG news!

Hey everyone and welcome (again) to Downtown’s blogspot! Woohoo.
Ok so yea, some people don’t know we have this but we do… And we’re planning on making this a main tool in which we can relay event info and info in general to you guys. So we suggest making this a homepage so that you open it up and see right away if there are any new postings.. or at least making it a favourite so you ca keep checking this weekly!


YFC C1 and Downtown has undergone MAJOR changes and here’s a run down of them:

NEW CHAPTER HEADS

As you all may know, Joel has planned to step down and has chosen a replacement. The new male Downtown Chapterhead is…. EJ Lazaga! Our female chapterhead is still Steph. Now, don’t worry, Joel isn’t leaving downtown (nor will he… He’s downtown FOREVER). Joel is now what is called a "Overseer" and still acts as a leader so yea..

Anyways, as of now, I (it’s EJ writing this blog btw…cuz steph is lazy and she doesn't know how to work this :P) haven’t chosen a replacement music min head but will soon. So keep checking here.
Unit heads: Unit heads are David and May. YEAYO!

NEW CLUSTER HEADS
To those who don’t know, YFC Downtown is part of a cluster called East C1. In this cluster is RENWY and MAGYOUTH along with the new chapter RHAV. Leading this cluster is Rams and Febs! They’re cool people... really cool :D



HOUSEHOLD HEADS
For those of you who made it to today's training, yay!

For those of you who didn't... shame on you. Aha. jokes. But basically just as YFC is split into chapters, chapters are split into Households. A household is just a group of people (around 5) which you're grouped in lead by a Household Head. These households meet about once a month (or at least.. they will now) or can chill outside of YFC.

So Household Heads: Call up your members! .. ALWAYS!!! We're serious about this. Like. Seriously. So call them up and tell them that they're in a household and what not

Household Members (that's everyone else :D): be ready for a call from household heads :D

Okay, this is getting really long. But yea. The important thing to take away from this post is
CHECK HERE OFTEN!!!!!!!!

Love y'all, take care, and God bless,
EJ & Steph
