Text of excerpt, if available

I’m not alone in this. God is with me, and my Christian brothers and sisters are with me.” Teens who participate say they find comfort and camaraderie in their weekly, virtual get-togethers.  They say the meetings help to ensure their focus remains where it should be. “Sometimes, we need to be reminded that we’re not alone,” says 15-year-old Alanna McCann, from Benton, who participates in youth ministry at Corpus Christi Parish in  Waterville. “Right now, it’s more important than ever to be talking to God.” “I know it definitely gives me hope when I get to see everyone,” says Abby Lyons, an 18-year-old from Hampden. “It definitely is an encouragement going into your next week to know that there are other people who are with you.”
