YOUTH COMMISSION
The purpose of the youth commission is visionary, educational and participatory. Tasks include planning, budgeting, implemenation and evaluation of youth activities. The youth commission consists of adults and youth working together to provide faith-building opportunities for youth 6th grade and older.
HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP
Senior High youth gather together on Sunday nights from 6:00pm until 7:30pm in Syrianey Hall. As community, we celebrate the Christ within each of us. Collectively, we explore our Catholicism. The experience of the Body of Christ in action is ever present as we plan, pray and play together. We urge all of our young people to take an active part in youth group where they will discover the excitment of Scripture, the celebration of Eucharist and the joy of Stewardship that is awakened whenever two or more of us are gathered in HIS name. Individuals will be able to use their particular gift to make each gathering a unique experience. We encourage everyone to be as fully active in the ownership of youth group as possible. Meets every Sunday of the month from 6:00 - 7:30 pm.
MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP
Middle school youth meet to share their discipleship. Adults and youth celebrate Catholicism together, each person explores paths to prayer that really works. All are invited to participate in the larger community through service work. The group grows together spiritually with the scriptures. Active involvement provides an experience of the Christ within. Nothing is more exciting than to be involved with a group of people who bring their contagious energies together to respond to the call of Christ. Anyone who is currently in middle school or enjoys sharing faith with 6th-8th graders is encouraged to get involved and start a new begining in Christ.
