Last week, the Teen Center hosted a Halloween party for the younger kids and families of the community. On Halloween, we invited any kids ages 1-12 to come play games and participate in fun activities in the Teen Center. We provided a bunch of different activities from bobbing for apples to coloring to face painting! The favorite was of course the ton of candy given out! The event was a real success and gave the families of McKinley Park a safe (and dry) place to bring their children! Pictures from the party have been posted on our Facebook page.
<br><br>This past Saturday, November 2nd, was All Souls Day. While we remember all of our loved ones and friends who have gone before us, we especially remembered Omar Castel who would have turned 18 on the 27th of October. Don't forget that every Tuesday at 6:15pm we meet at the corner of 36th and Marshfield to say the rosary not only for Omar but to end the violence on the streets that the youth of Chicago face everyday. Don't be scared to show up; we have cheat sheets on how to pray the rosary. If you cannot physically be there, please still join us spiritually by reciting the rosary or saying a prayer during that same time.<br><br>
We are set to attend NCYC, the National Catholic Youth Conference, in Indianapolis in just a few short weeks. As we finish last minute details, please pray for our teens in attendance that their hearts will be prepared to hear the message God intends.
<br><br>Thank you for everyone's help and donations with these events! Y'all are the reasons why we are able to do so much for the teens in McKinley Park.Teen Center Staffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560469516001767336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433776907139285467.post-47908498241168280322013-09-17T17:49:00.002-05:002013-09-17T17:50:08.433-05:00We are now using Twitter!

Hopefully everyone got the chance to come and check out the carnival this year, because it was awesome. We just wanted to take a second to thank anyone who helped out with the carnival. Without your help, things would not have gone so great this year. We know so many families and children had a blast with both the fishing booth and the fishing game this year. The shaved ice was also a huge hit. Thanks again for your help.

The carnival ended at a perfect time-just in time for the school year to start! We at the center are excited to see the teens come back, enjoying the center. Come check us out if you want to play some sports, get homework done, or hang out with some awesome people. Don't forget to invite your friends! Hope to see everyone soon!

Starting with mass at Sts. Peter and Paul at 7:00, the Teen Center Staff then took the teens to around ten different parishes for adoration. From 8:00 until midnight, we traveled the city making short stops at many different churches in order to pray for a list of people we had made at the beginning of the night. After returning to the Teen Center around 12:15, the lock-in began. The lock-in included making homemade pizza, playing different sports, impromptu jam sessions with a guitar, trombone, and saxaphone, and watching movies. We closed the Teen Center, after a sleepless night, around 6:30 am. It was a very reflective and fun night for the staff and teens!<br />

One of these opportunities is the free days at the Shedd Aquarium! Hoping to take advantage of the last free day this spring, the Teen Center took around ten middle school students to the Shedd Aquarium. Unfortunately many people had the same idea! While the line to get into the aquarium took around three hours, we were eventually able to see many different sea animals! During the long wait, we also were able to take a stroll along the lake and around Grant Park. Even though the day was exhausting, we all walked away with smiles on our faces, pride that we had conquered the never-ending line (which the Chicago Sun-Times actually published a story about the very next day), and excitement from all the interesting animals we were able to see. Here are some pictures from our trip!<br />

These volunteers work full time at the Teen Center while also living in an intentional faith-based community with eleven other roommates. Since the Teen Center is in the same neighborhood as Amate South House, many of the other volunteers have the opportunity to visit and build relationships with the teens as well. Last month the girls and guys groups that meet with Dave and Mackensey on Tuesday nights were invited to the Amate House to make dinner and get to know the other volunteers even more. Manny, one of our other young adult volunteers, made an amazing authentic Mexican meal, which everyone enjoyed. The evening was a special time full of laughter and bonding time for both the teens and the volunteers. <br />

</div>
Here at the Teen Center, along with providing a safe environment for
our teens we strive to instill in these young adults the importance of
giving back and serving others. Therefore, we try and take any
opportunity to practice these skills through different community service
projects. In March, we were able to take a handful of teens to the
Ronald McDonald House, which is a housing establishment for families
whose child is seriously ill in the hospital. Ronald McDonald House
makes it possible for these families to have a "home away from home" so
that they can remain close to the hospital while their child receives
the necessary treatment. We had the privilege of cooking and serving a
meal of spaghetti and salad at our local Ronald McDonald House.
Unfortunately there were not very many families that night, but it was
still a special and memorable experience for the youth.<br />

The last couple months the Teen Center was lucky enough to attend two UIC Flames Basketball games. The teens were able to experience the atmosphere of college athletics while also seeing the Flames win two games! Here are some pictures from those games:<br />

Along with these special fun events, the Teen Center still does regular weekly activities as well. Every Thursday, Mackensey bakes different yummy sweets with the teens. Other weekly activities include girls and guys groups every Tuesday and different sporting tournaments as well on Tuesday. <br />

<br />
This past weekend the teen center staff took around twenty students to Dixon, IL for another ReachOut Retreat. The theme of the weekend was "He Loves Me, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" so the activities and small group sessions were based on the ideas of God's love for us and our love for God and others. The weekend was a great success and the teen center students were able to bond with other teens from parishes all around the Chicagoland area. We were very blessed to have Father Rocco travel all the way from Boston to lead two masses and teach all of us more about God's love. The students gave talks, performed skits, decorated cupcakes, wrote love letters home, and were able to share their stories in many unique ways. The weekend provided unforgettable memories and changed lives. After a weekend of little sleep and lots of emotions, we are happy to be back to our regular teen center schedule but we will all be talking about this weekend for many months to come! Thank you to all the parents, volunteers, and staff members whose hard work and planning made the weekend go so smoothly. Here are some pictures from this amazing weekend: <br />

This holiday season came like a whirlwind so while we all settle back into our regular routines, put the lights and tinsel away, and start working on our New Year's resolutions, we at the Teen Center thought we would update you on our holiday happenings!<br />
<br />
Every year the Teen Center hosts a Christmas party for our youth, which includes great food, games, caroling, presents and, of course, a visit from the man himself (no, no not Kozy!) Santa!! It is a great time for the kids to celebrate the holiday with their Teen Center family and really get into the Christmas spirit! This year we had a great turn out and even some of our volunteers got their pictures taken with the guest of honor, Santa Claus.<br />
<br />
Big thanks to Kozy and all our volunteers who helped get food and wrapped presents! Most of all, though, thanks to our youth who really made it an enjoyable day and a party to remember! Hope you enjoy some of the pictures from the party. Special thanks to our Santa! Can you guess who it was??<br />

Now as the Teen Center wraps up the holidays and heads into this new year of 2013, we have even more events and weekly activities to look forward to! Every Tuesday we hold Tournament Tuesday where the kids can participate in sporting or gaming tournaments doing anything from basketball to volleyball to pool or even foosball. Also on Tuesdays, Dave leads a guys group and Mackensey leads a girls group where both the guys and girls can spend time discussing issues like self esteem, faith, social pressures, and other important topics. Thursdays Mackensey leads a baking session with the kids teaching them how to make delicious desserts! We will also be holding a lock-in for both the high school and middle school students this month. In February we will participate in our Winter Retreat, which is a very exciting event for students where they can build strong friendships and grow in faith! <br />
<br />
2013 will be an exciting time for the Teen Center so we hope that you will get involved and help us make this center an even better place for our youth!

<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Last weekend Blessed Sacrament Teen Center hosted a retreat with Christ the King parish. The retreat went very well and included many laughs, times of personal sharing, and different activities revolving around the theme of Campaign for Christ: Vote for Jesus. The weekend was a great time where we built deep bonds as a group! Here are some of the highlights:</span><br />

On Halloween, we invited any kids ages 1-12 to come play games and fun activities in the Teen Center. We provided a bunch of different activities from bobbing for apples to coloring and of course there was a ton of candy! The event was a real success and gave the families of McKinley Park a safe place to bring their children! Here are some of the pictures from the party:<br />

<br />
Last Thursday, after an announcement made at Evergreen Middle School, the Teen Center was able to open and serve free food to the youth of McKinley Park. With brand new faces and the return of familiar faces, a refreshing and exciting atmosphere filled the Teen Center as kids played pool, volleyball, and basketball. Only with your support are we able to provide this safe place for students so thank you so much for all you have done and will continue to do that contributes to the success of our programs.<br />
<br />
Fall and winter bring hope of even more memories made at the Teen Center and the staff cannot wait for the rest of the school year ahead of us. Mackensey was able to snap some pictures of the action on Thursday so enjoy!<br />

Thank you so much again for helping to make the Teen Center the safe and fun place it is to all of these students! We are hoping to continue our Friday Movie Night that starts at 4:30. While we won't be giving away free hot dogs and chips every Thursday, we are also starting free baked goods every Thursday for any student that comes to the teen center! <br />

The Teen Center staff is excited that the school
year has finally returned and ready to welcome all the youth back to the
center! Some new faces will greet the youth this year because the newest
Amate House volunteers have arrived. The Teen Center
is excited to welcome Davidlee Klimchuk and Mackensey Carter to its staff for
the 2012-2013 school year. This blog post is devoted to getting to know a
little bit more about each of these volunteers and their volunteer program,
Amate House. <br />

Amate
House is a post-graduate volunteer program which places thirty three young
adults at various sites around the city where they volunteer fulltime for an
entire year. Their mission is to live and work in solidarity with the people of
Chicago. The
volunteers serve at a myriad of locations including different schools, legal
agencies, food pantries, and hospitals. The Amate volunteers are housed at
three different locations throughout the city. There is a group living in
Little Village, another in Uptown, and, as is the case with the teen center
volunteers, in the old St. Maurice convent right here in our own McKinley Park. </div>

<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Hopefully all of you got a chance to check out the carnival this year because it was definitely an awesome time. Shout out to all those that worked hard before, during and after the event to make it such a fun and enjoyable time for all the kids and families! The teen center had a few additions to the event, which included a shaved ice stand, a bean bag toss/sucker pull for prizes, and a booth where the kids could win a goldfish. Everything went very well and we all had a great time seeing all of you there. </div>

<br />
The blog is back! Soon you will be able to find new updates about what we are doing at the teen center and ways to get involved. The center now has two new Amate House Volunteers: Davidlee Klimchuk and Mackensey Carter (hopefully we will be posting a bio on both of them in the near future).<br />
<br />
For now, keep checking back to find updates and resources. We hope to see you all at the Blessed Sacrament Parish Carnival Thursday August 16th through Sunday August 19th! <br />

After a rain delay and tornado warnings, we loyal fans toughed out the weather for a good night. We cheered on the team and their 4-2 victory against the Atlanta Braves. The group enjoyed the game and the firework show that followed. No better way to spend your evening than with friends and watching another win!

Tickets were half price due to their Legacy Brick Night discount, which was much appreciated. It was a nice night for a ballgame and the kids were all quite content, until the final score, Angels 6, Sox 5. Baseball games are a big part of summer, so we are all looking forward to more in the coming months.

Youth came out to help lead games for children and served chips and hot dogs at the American Booth. They also helped enjoy the snacks at the dessert booth. Other focuses of the night were Italian, Polish, Irish, and Mexican food, some of which people mixed and matched so that they could enjoy a little of everything. Live entertainment included a DJ, live accordion music, and singing by one of the church choir directors. Throughout the night people had the opportunity to win various raffle prizes, like sports memorabilia, tickets, decorations, and even small appliances. The evening was a success with a high turnout.Teen Center Staffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560469516001767336noreply@blogger.com
