Programs for High School
BE A WITNESS!!!
Dear young people, let me now ask you a question. What will you leave to the next generation? Are you building your lives on firm foundations, building something that will endure? What legacy will you leave to young people yet to come? What difference will you make?
The outpouring of Christ’s Spirit upon humanity is a pledge of hope and deliverance from everything that impoverishes us. This power can create a new world: it can “renew the face of the earth!”
Empowered by the Spirit, and drawing upon faith’s rich vision, a new generation of Christians is being called to help build a world in which God’s gift of life is welcomed, respected and cherished – not rejected, feared as a threat and destroyed. A new age in which love is not greedy or self-seeking, but pure, faithful, and genuinely free, open to others, respectful of their dignity, seeking their good, radiating joy and beauty. A new age in which hope liberates us from the shallowness, apathy and self-absorption which deaden our souls and poisons our relationships. Dear young friends, the Lord is asking you to be prophets of this new era, messengers of his love, drawing people to the Father and building a future of hope for all humanity.

Our high school youth ministry program focuses on meeting the educational, spiritual, emotional, and social needs of teenage youth. Our goal is to help lead teens to a closer relationship with Christ and His Church. This is done through the Life Teen Mass on Sundays at 5:00 P.M., followed by Life Nights, where Christian faith and living are discussed. Adult Core Members (volunteers) provide support for the teen activities.
Discipleship Night
Many people are fans of Jesus Christ, but only those who pick up their crosses and carry them can be His disciples. If you are a hardcore lover of Jesus, this group is for you. We talk about all kinds of things spanning from mission work to stewardship to evangelization. We plan programs for our Jr. High brothers and sisters. We also have a monthly service project where we get out into the community to serve. There will be nights where we split up guys and girls. But regardless of what we’re focused on that week, we will pray, eat, fellowship, have fun, and love the Lord! Join us on Thursday nights from 6-8pm.
High School Bible Study
This program helps teens look deeper into scripture, the catechism, and the teachings of the church. Our goal is to help teens form good habits in their religious studies as well as to socialize, play some guitar, and eat some pizza. Meetings are on Tuesdays from 6:00-8:00PM. Adult volunteers provide support for the teen activities.
