Youth Ministry Youth Group Gatherings begin in September and Small Faith Groups meet beginning in late September/early October through early May, while several Social Events, Retreats, Social Justice and Service Projects, and an annual Mission Trip occur at different times throughout the year.
Registration is required.
Life Nights (Youth Group Meetings)
We meet weekly on Sundays in the Multipurpose Room from 6:30-8:30pm (except for Small Faith Group Sundays, once a month). We have a theme for the year that guides our topics on faith, life, and issues relevant to high schoolers. This year's theme is "Relentless Father" and we will focus on breaking down walls and barriers and trying to remember that
God is always with us. "When we feel far from God, guess who moved?" ...
We start with dinner as a group and then get into our youth group meeting.
Bring your friends any time and join us for a fun and relevant look into our faith!
Open Door
We meet two to three times a month on Sundays in Room 11 from 3-5 pm (beginning in August 2018). This is a time where you can come hang out with friends and socialize and it is also when we will be meeting as leadership to plan our upcoming events such as life nights, service opportunities and retreats. This is a great time to be involved if you would like to have input on the direction of our ministry! We will also look at upcoming readings especially if they relate to a Life Night Theme and whenever possible we will spend a little time in the chapel with Jesus. All are welcome and if you are High School Core Team Volunteer for the Middle School Confirmation Prep Program this would be a great time and place to get together and plan and prepare for the Sunday and Tuesday Night lessons and get a chance to hang out with your high school friends! Adult Core Team are welcome too!!!
Small Faith Groups
We meet in Small Faith Communities in other teens' homes once a month, typically on Sunday evenings. This year we also have a group that is meeting on Saturday evenings in the home of the Modolos. If this time is better suited to your sports schedule please contact Nancy directly and request to be added to that group. The Small Faith Groups are each unique extensions of the youth group meetings where you can go a little deeper and take a new perspective on the topics being presented.
Retreats
We have one to two retreats each year for any and all high school students, regardless of whether they participate regularly in the youth ministry or not. Check out the retreat page for information on upcoming retreats.
Mission Trip
Each year, teens participate in a Mission Trip with a Catholic organization called Young Neighbors In Action.
