The youth ministry program encompasses students in grades 6 through 12, and we always welcome their friends. Youth ministry is about exploring faith in new and exciting ways; responding to the needs and the gifts of youth; and seeing parents, as well as community members, as partners in the investment of our time and resources. Our youth are invited to be involved in at least one of our "core" ministries of Hospitality, Spirituality, and Steward-ship. Our programs are divided to meet the needs of both Middle and High School.

Upward Bound is for Middle School and along with the religious education program, offers retreats, fun and games, field trips and much more.

Our high school program is called A.C.T. (Active Catholic Teens) and along with our Confirmation program offers religious and social gatherings involving all of our ministries.

UPWARD BOUND ACTIVITIES - Middle School Middle School Religious Education will meet every other Sunday night beginning September 23.

FANTASTIC FRIDAYS return this Fall. Watch the bulletin.
Dances begin October 5 in the Centre from 7:00-9:30 p.m. OPEN
