For students in grades 6–12: friendship, prayer, honest questions, service, retreats, and opportunities to know, love, and serve Jesus Christ.
Youth group is more than another activity. It is a home where middle school and high school students are known, welcomed, challenged, and invited to take the next step as disciples of Jesus through the Church.
Whether you have grown up at St. Mary’s, are new to the parish, have big questions, or are just looking for good Catholic friends, we want to walk with you.
At St. Mary’s, youth ministry helps students enter more deeply into the parish’s mission: to provide opportunities to know, love, and serve Jesus Christ.
Faith-filled teaching, small groups, Scripture, honest conversations, and space to ask real questions about life, faith, and the Church.
Prayer, worship, Holy Hours, the Sacraments, and friendships that help students discover that Jesus knows and loves them personally.
Service, parish life, retreats, leadership, and concrete ways to use gifts for the good of the Church and the people around us.
Students are welcomed into age-appropriate community, formation, and prayer, while parents are kept connected and informed.
A welcoming place for friendship, fun, prayer, and the basics of discipleship as students learn that they are known and loved by God.
A place for deeper friendship, discipleship, honest questions, leadership, service, prayer, and preparing to live the faith beyond graduation.
Join us for regular youth nights, prayer, community, retreats, Holy Hours, and special events throughout the year.
Come as you are. Bring a friend. You do not need to have everything figured out to belong here.
Parents of youth in grades 7–12 are invited to stay connected through updates and the calendar.
Retreats, Holy Hours, service opportunities, family nights, and parish events help youth grow in faith and friendship.
Fill out the interest form and a member of the youth ministry team will help you take the next step.
Parents are the first witnesses of faith. Youth ministry at St. Mary’s is here to support families, communicate clearly, and help students grow in the life of the Church.
Use the interest form to get connected, join the update group, follow the calendar, and reach out with questions. Parents of 7th–12th graders are especially encouraged to keep up with communication.
Youth ministry gives students a real place in parish life: at youth nights, on retreat, in prayer, in service, and in the story God is writing at St. Mary’s.
Not sure where to begin? Send a message or fill out the interest form, and we will help your family get connected.
