Hello and welcome to the SMCB Times Youth Corner! As the Times slowly grows with each issue, and our audience grows along with it, we wanted to create a space geared to our youth community, and give youth members of our parish a chance to talk about what matters most to them. Our goal in creating this youth corner, is to provide a platform for our youth to highlight their achievements, projects, and ideas, as well as give them an opportunity to talk about some of the most pressing issues that affect us all today. Through the creation of the youth corner, we hope that members of our parish both young and old can see what the youth community is up to, learn from their perspectives, and help keep all of us a bit more connected during these trying times. We hope you enjoy this month's edition of the Youth Corner, and as always we are so interested to hear what you have to say, please feel free to email us at smcbtimes@googlegroups.com with your submissions for the Youth Corner!
