Youth Ministry Update: A New Season of Growth and Faith
I am excited to share some important updates and new opportunities coming to our parish youth ministry this upcoming year!
As we continue to walk with our young people in faith, we are preparing for a meaningful and active year centered on encounter, community, and discipleship.
Middle School Youth Ministry Launching This Fall
This fall, we will be launching a Middle School Youth Ministry designed especially for our 6th–8th grade students. Our hope is to create a welcoming space where young people can grow in their relationship with Christ, build authentic friendships, and discover what it means to live out their Catholic faith in everyday life.
Through gatherings, prayer experiences, service opportunities, and community-building activities, we will accompany our middle school youth in a way that meets them where they are and helps them take their next steps in faith.
Dates and details for all Middle School Youth Ministry events will be announced through our Youth Ministry Newsletter.
Continuing Our High School Youth Ministry
Our High School Youth Ministry will continue this year as well, offering teens a place to encounter Christ, deepen their faith, and stay connected to a supportive community of peers.
Whether through weekly or monthly gatherings, prayer nights, or special events, our desire is to continue helping high school students grow in discipleship and discover their identity as beloved sons and daughters of God.
All upcoming dates and event details will continue to be shared through our Youth Ministry Newsletter.
Post Confirmation: What Next?
For those who have already received the Sacrament of Confirmation but are still seeking to grow in their faith, we will be offering a new monthly opportunity called:
“Post Confirmation: What Next?”
This gathering is designed to support young people beyond Confirmation and help them continue their journey of discipleship. We will explore how to live out the faith in daily life, deepen prayer, and stay rooted in the Church as young disciples in the world today.
Dates for these monthly sessions will also be announced through our Youth Ministry Newsletter.
