L.I.F.E. is a youth group for all 9th-12th graders and their friends. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month to discuss topics of interest to teens. It is a great chance to get to know other teens from the parish and to grow in one's understanding of how God fits into our everyday lives. High school youth are always welcome to drop in at a L.I.F.E. meeting. You've just got to experience it!
This dedicated group of youth and adults meet monthly to plan LIFE meetings and to support one another on our faith journeys. This group also advises the director of youth ministry about the types of other activities we could be doing in high school youth ministry. High school youth from the core team actually lead all LIFE meetings, with adults serving as a ministry of presence with our youth. Adults or youth interested in being a part of the Core team should contact Ruthie Barnes in the Parish office.
There are lots of other activities that happen in High school youth ministry, such as seasonal faith sharing groups, social activities, service projects, and justice activities. These other events and programs are scheduled throughout the year, so find out what is happening next in High school youth ministry.
Youth ministry does not happen in a vacuum. It happens as adults and youth join together in ministry. CAPS are adults who serve as drivers and chaperones at events. They are also involved in LIFE meetings as another adult to get to know and share with our youth. CAPS have a chance to be a witness of their faith by serving as a role model, by building relationships with teens, and by sharing in prayer with our youth.
Preparation for high school youth who would like to be Confirmed is provided by youth ministry. Confirmation candidates are then confirmed with the eighth grade confirmation candidates or at Pentecost.
Jr. High Nights are the once a month youth group for all seventh and eighth grade students. We meet on Friday nights from 7-8:30 to talk about teen issues in the light of faith, always with lots of activities, dynamic talks, and lively discussion and social time. A group of adults also help lead these meetings. They commit to helping just two hours each month.
This Boy Scouts Religious Emblem program is offered annually to Boy Scouts in our parish through the office of youth ministry. Boys in seventh grade and older are invited to work on earning this emblem. The program involves taking a deeper look at the sacraments and how they can enrich our daily lives. It is a chance to grow in ones own faith and in connection with our parish faith community. Directions
