Youth in grades 6-12 are welcomed to be part of our Youth Groups.  Our 6th-8th grade is in one group, and our 9th-12th graders are in another.  Youth Group is a safe-haven; a place where our young people actually WANT to go to learn, pray, and grow spiritually in community with one another.

Youth Group is NOT Faith Formation; it is how we learn to live our faith in community. While we certainly catechise and evangelise in youth group, the focus is on community. Faith Formation is where we learn what we believe and why. 

As part of Youth Group, we have a duty to mold and disciple our youth into productive, responsible, and evangelistic young adults.  Our one desire is to bring them into a personal relationship with the person of Jesus Christ so they can spread the good news to others!  

Investing in the youth ministry area of our Church and providing them a safe-haven of acceptance and unconditional love is crucial.  More and more of these teens come to our Church on their own in search of family, support, and sound direction.  It is the responsibility of our Church to take advantage of every opportunity to touch the lives of these young people. 

We typically meet 2 Wednesdays out of the month from 6-8pm in the former St. Rita's School.  We also take part in activities and events in the Church community, as well as attend retreats, and have FUN TOO!
