St. Mary’s Youth Ministry: Let the Adventure Begin!

This semester the youth will meet twice a month on Wednesdays, and the adult mentor-leaders will meet twice a month for training (see calendar below). We will be gearing up to begin meeting weekly on Wedesdays in January.  Meeting times will be 6:30 - 8:30 pm and will begin in the St. Mary's Gym.

The truth is that 80% of Catholics are no longer Catholic by the time they turn 23. We have to make it a priority to pass on the Faith, but we can’t do it by simply going on like everyone else and expect to get different results.  We are committed to building a dynamic Catholic Community that will assist our kids in this world that is diametrically opposed to Christ and His Church. The Catechism says that parents are FIRST educators in the Faith. We want to partner with each family in passing on the treasure of our Catholic Faith in a compelling way.  You can’t do it on your own and we can’t do it on our own. Religious education has to be more than dropping your kids off at church and expecting them to stay Catholic. We need all hands on deck. God will bless us as we move forward together with His grace.
