 Our IY Teens watched the documentary, "The Human Experience." Two brothers from Brooklyn go on a journey to find the true meaning of life. They live with the homeless in the cold winter of NYC and then they later visit a home in Lima, Peru for children who were abused and abandoned. The teens learned how we can find the true meaning of our lives when we serve others in need. Part two of the documentary coming up next week! Join us Next Thursday at 5:00pm at Saint Dominic's!   Our Idente Youth teens discussed the importance of evaluating the purpose of all of our relationships. " God gives us relationships to help us become the-best-version-of-ourselves. He gives us relationships so that we can help each other get to Heaven ... the purpose of every relationship is two people helping each other become the-best-version-of-themselves.
