๐ฅ Youth Ministry is Back!
We are so excited to welcome our young people back for another year of Youth Ministry, and this year, we've got some exciting changes in store!
๐๐ป Middle School (6thโ8th Grade)
This year, our middle schoolers will be diving into Scripture and the story of salvation through Ascension's Encounter . This isn't just another Bible study, through Encounter, our kids will come to know God not as a distant doctrinal concept, but as a loving Father who desires a meaningful and lasting encounter with them. We'll also be using the Virtue Explorer from Open Light Media, created by the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist. Virtues are habits that help us recognize what is true and love what is good with ease and consistency.
These are just a few of the great things we have planned with our middle school youth this year, but none of it can happen without you! We invite you to come and jump right in. Bring a friend. Bring several.

๐๐ป High School, Yes, You
I know you're busy, and you don't need another group to go to or another thing to do. But I invite you, and your friends, to come and see .
"Philip found Nathanael and said to him, 'We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wroteโJesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.' 'Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?' Nathanael asked. 'Come and see,' said Philip." (John 1:45โ46)
This year, we're taking a simple approach to what we'll be doing: we'll be using Quick Catholic Lessons with Fr. Mike from Ascension. These are built around Fr. Mike's short videos covering a wide variety of topics, from core questions about Catholicism to practical and tough issues in Christian discipleship. These are the topics at the heart of what our high schoolers are experiencing right now.
