CHERRY — St. Patrick’s in Arlington, Holy Trinity in Cherry and St. Thomas More in Dalzell began the 2012-13 youth education year with a successful and fun Youth Education Kick-off Movie Night Sept. 21 at the Holy Trinity Hall in Cherry. More than 70 people enjoyed a fun-filled evening of treats, laughs and the viewing of the movie Dr. Seuss’s “The Lorax” on a 16-foot outdoor screen.

Stewardship volunteers and youth education teachers and assistants were busy all night coordinating food, fun and fellowship. Although temperatures dipped, a few blankets and the exciting show kept everyone warm and comfortable.

Beth Wenzel, youth educations coordinator and leader of this event, said “Even I am impressed with the great start we are off to this year. It’s is great to see so many kids get involved in our youth education activities.”
