Junior High Youth Group
(7 & 8 Grade)
Monday nights from 7 - 8:30 pm October - May
Our goal: to personally evangelize each teen through relational ministry in a small group setting. The lessons are enhanced with opportunities for Community building through games and team building activities, as well as praise and worship, which includes different prayer experiences to encounter Jesus in a personal way.

Senior High Youth Group (9-12 Grade)
Wednesday nights from 7: – 9 pm, October - May
As a part of youth group, teens have the opportunity to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ through fellowship and formation in their Discipleship Group that meets every other week to discuss topics about the faith, personal faith life, and be challenged to live out their lives as a committed follower of Jesus.

In addition to small group, there are large group nights that include times of prayer and Praise and Worship, talks to deepen faith, fun activities, fellowship, outreach ministry, and class or small group competitions.

In 9th and 10th grade youth prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation Preparation is a two-year program that prepares youth for the "Rite of Confirmation..Confirmation is open to all youth. (Most teens start the preparation process in 9th grade.) In addition to Wednesday nights, the program also includes retreats, ministry hours, sponsor activities, and more. After being Confirmed, teens have the option to continue growing with their small
group through the PORT -- a group specifically for those in post-Confirmation. 

Both Confirmation and PORT groups meet on Wednesdays.

Peer Ministry
First Monday of the month from 5:30 - 8:30 pm
Peer Ministry is comprised of Confirmed teens, young adults, and adults. The team's purpose is to aid the youth program in fulfilling its mission statement: “A community of Catholic disciples, empowered by the Holy Spirit to evangelize their peers and bring them closer to Christ.” All teens on the Peer Ministry team are also part of the PORT program on Wednesday nights and take part in a Discipleship Group. The team learn skills in small group dynamics, drama, leadership development, team interaction, and much more!
