Shareables (resources) 

• Connect them with their school before they go! Use this letter format to send information about your graduating senior's Newman/ministry center. Maybe even ask if it's okay to pass your teen's information directly to the Newman/ministry center!

 

• Want more than letters? Go big and create a powerpoint like this one about the Fantastic Ball State! Get your current college students to help put it together!

 

• Your parish is still home to many teens, and your leaders likely held great impact in their lives. Give them contact cards and let them know it's always okay to reach out. 

 

• Want to send teens off with words of wisdom? Create a book of wisdom from previous teens like this one!
