Youth Ministry
which is separate from Catechetical Ministry but a mandatory experience before entering Confirmation Preparation Program. Youth ministry is to help young people discover their Catholic identity and to call them to an active life in the Christian family. To accomplish this, it is necessary to recognize youth as "CHURCH" and to welcome their rich and spiritual style of expressing their faith. High School (grades 9-12) meets two Saturday evenings/month at 6:30 pm.

Liturgy of the Word for Children
serves grades 1 through 6. Children are invited to celebrate the Word of God at the 9 am Sunday Mass in a manner understandable to their age level. The children meet with adult and teen leaders after the Opening Prayer and return to the regular Mass at the Presentation of the Gifts.
