Youth Ministry

Join Us At SEA

We offer three gatherings on the third Sunday (*with minor exceptions) of every month from 4-7 PM for BOTH middle and high school students: Serve (service projects), Encounter (exploring faith), and Accompany (fun/social). Come for one gathering or all three! Dinner is provided!


We also offer a separate high school only youth group, that meets at various times (typically Sunday afternoons or evenings) for an assortment of activities! Details for what this will look like during 2026-2027 are available at the bottom of this page. Many of these gatherings are off-campus and require separate waiver/permission form.


Friends are always welcome and they do not need to be Catholic!

There is no formal registration for Youth Ministry. By attending any of our events, teens and parents automatically acknowledge and agree to the waiver and release agreement that can be found below.

 Youth Ministry is always free to join and participate in, however we rely heavily on donations to keep this ministry running. Snacks and drinks are available at all gatherings, and dinner is provided for all youth at our third Sunday SEA Gatherings.


Please consider making a donation if you plan for your child to be regularly involved throughout the year! If you would prefer to make a non-monetary donation (such as snacks, drinks, or providing dinner one month), contact Clare.


Thank you for your support!
