Prayer Request and Support for Life Teen.
From January 2–4, 2026, our Saint Mary Life Teen community will be on Winter Retreat. We humbly ask our parish family to join us in prayer for the 80 teens and Life Teen Core Members who will be attending.
Beginning today, December 26, we invite you to pray a 9-Day Novena to the Holy Spirit, asking for hearts to be opened, lives to be transformed, and a deep encounter with Jesus.

✨ Come, Holy Spirit.
✨ Renew our young people.
✨ Bless Saint Mary Life Teen.
Thank you for covering our teens in prayer. We are so grateful for you. 🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨

We are thrilled to welcome Samantha Chipman as the new EDGE Youth Minister at Saint Mary, Mother of God Church!

Sam recently graduated from Franciscan University of Steubenville, and her journey comes full circle—she was once a student leader in both EDGE and LIFE TEEN during her own middle and high school years.

What is EDGE?
EDGE is our dynamic middle school youth ministry that helps 6th–8th graders encounter Jesus Christ, grow in faith, and build lasting friendships through fun, fellowship, and faith-filled nights.

Welcome, Samantha! We’re so excited for what God will do through you in the lives of our middle schoolers!

Congratulations to Ben Constance, St. Mary Life Teen member and recipient of the Diocese of Trenton Saint Timothy Award!

The Saint Timothy Award honors a high school teen who is a true witness to our Catholic Faith and has shown outstanding service in Youth and Parish Ministry.

Ben has been a dedicated member of EDGE and LIFE TEEN for 8 years, a faithful Altar Server, and a leader in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Middletown High School North. His Eagle Scout Project—the construction of our beautiful outdoor Stations of the Cross—continues to inspire prayer and devotion across our campus. This fall, Ben will begin a new chapter at Franciscan University of Steubenville.

God bless you, Ben! Your parish family is proud of you!
