Our Youth Ministry exists to reach students, connect them with other Catholic peers, help them grow in their faith, and challenge them to discover their ministry and honor God with their lives.
Our Youth Ministry offers monthly youth Mass on the First Saturday, followed by group meetings for middle and high school students (grades 6th through 12th).
These monthly social meetings will in addition offer service opportunities for them to build community and put their faith into practice.

What do our meetings look like?
The structure of our monthly meetings includes the following: light snacks shared as a community after Mass, fun games and activities, a faith-based talk, video, or presentation, small group discussion, and prayer.
Each faith-based teaching will run in series, building from one another. We are committed to helping our youths have a relationship with Christ and grow in their spiritual walks with Him. We also want to give them opportunities to build leadership qualities by having them lead small group discussions or activities. We expect your child(ren) to be involved with the group by participating in events, talks, Bible studies, fundraisers, and other church events. We feel active participation is vital for their growth and learning.
You are important to this process!
Parents, we also feel it is vital for you to be active with the Youth Ministry when the opportunities arise, as well as help support our youths. We cannot and will never take the place of parents. You are your children’s most important spiritual leader. We want to work alongside you and would appreciate being considered as part of your support team on your children's journey.
Communication is huge! If your child(ren) is/are struggling, we want to help. If you have certain rules, please let us know so we can help keep those when they are with us. If you have any issues or concerns, please feel free to contact us via a call/ text or come in after a session to speak to us.
Youth ministry is not mandatory, but we encourage your child(ren) to attend our once-a-month meetings. With continuity, we build fellowship and a sense of family. We look forward to this opportunity to see what the Lord has in store!
Colossians states:”So therefore, you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.” Let's work together to keep our youths on God’s path!
Thank you and God bless!
Sincerely,
Youth Ministry Team
