The mission of our St. Mary Parish Youth Ministry is to provide a holistic outlet for our teens to participate and grow in our Catholic Faith Community. A critical element to the success of our mission, is not only the support of our teens' parents, but of the entire parish community. Every one of us plays a role in creating a parish culture where our teens are encouraged to participate resulting in a strong sense of belonging to our vibrant parish.
High School Meetings
Our High School Program is open for eighth graders to seniors in high school. We meet Sunday Nights and look into different aspects of the Catholic faith. We cover the saints, the sacraments, traditions, scripture, practical application of the faith, and so much more. No matter if you are strong in your faith, just getting into it, or aren't sure about it, all are welcome. Regardless of home parish or school, anyone can attend the St. Mary program.
High School Bible Study
Our high school bible study meets Tuesday Nights at 7:30pm in the Parish office. During these nights we walk through scripture together, breaking down every verse to understand all the connections to other parts of scriptiure and the connections to the time it was written. All Freshman through Seniors are welcome!
Junior High School Meetings
Our Middle School Program is for 6th through 8th grade students. The program is designed to be simple enough for all to understand the concepts, but rooted in the truth of the Catholic faith. We meet every other Thursday in the school cafeteria 6:00-7:30pm.
