HIGH SCHOOL MINISTRY

What is High School Ministry?

We have a growing community of teens chasing after the heart of Jesus and growing in fellowship with one another. We meet every Sunday after the 5:00 pm Mass in the “Grotto” for food, fun, and faith. This year we are focusing on the lives of the Saints, the Church Triumphant, as guides to living in this world.

RETREATS & PILGRIMAGES

Retreats & Pilgrimages

Every other year we are blessed to go on pilgrimage to the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) and gather with thousands of other Catholic teens from around the country to proclaim our faith. This past summer (2023) we attended Ave Maria’s Youth Conference Revealed. This was such a powerful experience for our ministry and are excited to attend next year’s July 12-14! Finally we look forward to the opportunity to attend the ALIVE IN YOU Catholic Work Camp this Summer (2024). 

MIDDLE SCHOOL MINISTRY

What is Middle School Ministry?

Our Middle School Ministry was launched in January 2023 with an awesome response. We meet every Wednesday immediately after school (3:30-5:00 pm) in the “Grotto” for food, fun, and faith. This year we will learn from the Saints and how to live in the world today while following the teachings of  Christ and the scriptures.

CONFIRMATION RETREAT

ABLAZE

Every year we host a weekend long retreat called ABLAZE for our Confirmation students focusing on our relationship with God through the person of the Holy Spirit. This year we are excited to announce the addition of peer ministers from previous Confirmation classes. Students who are interested in the ABLAZE Peer Ministry must have received Confirmation, apply, and interview with a team of adults from the retreat leaders.
