High School Youth Group

We also have really cool social events, like the Hallowed Hayride and Christmas party and paintball. There is an awesome annual retreat and some amazing service projects to put our faith into action like the SOUPER Bowl and Giving Tree. This past summer was our second "Blessed Week Ever" service camp and we celebrated the end of the week at Cedar Point. Sweet!

Once a month on Sunday evening (4:00 PM) we have a Praise Mass. Contemporary, upbeat music by Station 14, student lectors, greeters and Eucharistic Ministers and of course, Fr. Dave giving us a rockin' homily. This all happens before our LIFE night and then our amazing parents feed us a great meal before we begin the LIFE night.

We have a lot of fun, awesome AND holy ways to get Jesus in our lives to go out and BE Living Tabernacles to the world.

If you are a high school youth, this is the place to be, all of your friends are going to be so jealous. So you should bring them. 8th graders and Confirmation students are invited to all of our youth group Life Nights and events.

If you are a young adult with a faith-filled heart and would like to help with our CORE team or a parent who wants to help with the behind-the-scenes ministry, please contact our youth minister, Tina Burtch.
