The Youth Ministry Program emphasizes the love and compassion of the Lord and incorporates teaching based on the Sunday readings. Teaching Masses deepens students' understanding of liturgy and worship; a monthly Family Mass fosters inclusivity and intergenerational connection; and Spiritual Retreats offer opportunities for deeper reflection and inner growth. Our youth masses are 4th Sundays at 5pm. Sign up for Faith Connection on our youth ministry signup form, today!
Through service and connecting with diverse communities, our youth will better understand the world around them and their role in creating a more just world. These experiences empower them to embody the values of service, justice, and love in their everyday lives. Monthly service projects, seasonal collections for the less fortunate, and, for older teens, domestic and foreign immersion programs are important parts of this program. Our next service outing will be announced soon. Sign up for Service and Connection on our youth ministry signup form, today!
An immediate area of focus is connecting Parish youth with our Simple Needs program, both as donors and as volunteers to help with the items brought in by parishioners the second Sunday of most months.
With a focus on human connection, the Youth Ministry Program creates a safe and supportive space for teenagers to flourish. Through this program, they'll explore age-appropriate big questions about their place in the world while being nurtured in a supportive community. The program will focus on building foundations and connections through regular, fun Youth Group gatherings with peers, as well as engaging families and adult volunteers, inviting guest speakers, and offering monthly check-ins, summer activities and athletics. Our next Senior High (8th-12th) Outing is Bowling on the first Saturday of April. Sign up for Fun Youth Outings / Personal Connection on our youth ministry signup form, today!
