May 2008 Breakfast meeting - Saturday 5/10/08


Our May guest speaker will be Drew Marcos. Drew is an alumni of OLR (97) and St. John Bosco (01) and is currently pursuing a degree in Special Education. Drew has been active in Youth & Confirmation ministry for 10 years. He is also an accomplished percussionist who has played with OLR's 5:30 contemporary ensemble and the CSULB Catholic Newman Club. Drew's talk will be titled "Broken, Fallen, Risen," which will detail his personal struggles and victories with his Catholic faith, and how his involvement in parish & campus ministry has provided a sure path for his journey. Drew is currently the percussionist for the 12:30 Life Teen Mass at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Long Beach. He also finds time to play with his own, as yet unnamed band, as well as playing with Catholic bands the Perfect Cry and Walking Refuge.

The morning starts with the 8:00 am Mass, followed by breakfast and fellowship. Everyone is welcome. Drew's message is powerful to all of us; however, we believe that this will really hit home to the Catholic high school and college age kids. You can RSVP by responding to this email.
