Youth Ministry

Our youth are encouraged to be involved in many areas of Parish life, where they can share their faith and enthusiasm with us as they journey toward an adult spirituality.  The goal in Youth Ministry is to provide experiences where youth can help each other to develop a mature, Christ-centered faith and lifestyle.  To create these experiences, we promote active participation by adults...as advisors, drivers, chaperones, and providers of food.

 REGULAR SCHEDULED ACTIVITIES:

¨ HIGH SCHOOL Sunday Evenings:  Our high school youth gather each Sunday evening during the school year from 6 - 7:30pm for a time that includes prayer, catechesis, community building, and service.  And food, of course!

¨ MIDDLE SCHOOL includes bi-monthly events that build community and faith for youth grades 6-8. Programming supports and extends the middle school religious education program.

¨ SUMMER WORK CAMPS:   Middle and high school youth each have a week in the summer of service and fun.  High school youth join with Catholic youth from neighboring parishes  to serve the needs of our larger community—especially the aging and homebound who are in need of home repairs and yard work.  Middle school youth also spend their week helping CASA (harvesting gardens and painting) as well as service to parish and community.  Both groups enjoy social times as well, combining fun, food, and faith!
