Youth

We consider it a privilege to work with the parents and children in nourishing the Catholic faith of our parish families.

All parish children in grades 1-8, who are not attending a Catholic School, should be enrolled in a Religious Education Class. We provide instruction on the Catholic Faith in an age-appropriate format in a classroom environment. Our Religious Education teachers help reinforce an enduring belief and love of Jesus and knowledge of our Catholic Heritage and Church Doctrine.

Tweens & Teens

The Tweens and Teen Ministries provide our youth with social, educational, and spiritual enrichment. There are opportunities to develop lasting friendships while at the same time participating in parish life and assisting others.
