About Youth Ministry
Our program offers a wide variety of age-appropriate activities for middle school and high school students.
Middle School
The middle school years; they are no longer children, but not quite adults. Our program is geared toward supporting 6th, 7th and 8th graders as they become full members of our faith communities.
Belonging to a community is important and Middle School Youth Group is a special time for each person to pray and learn about themselves. And because there’s no better teacher than a good example, our trained high school students and young adults who help out serve as great role models for our kids.
Formal religious instruction for middle school students is held Sunday mornings at 9:00 am in the school building at Blessed Sacrament. Youth Group meets at Blessed Sacrament on Sunday afternoons and includes activities and retreats, Faith Formation family activities, and service opportunities within our parishes and local communities.

High School
Our goal in youth ministry is to not only help young people develop morally and spiritually, but to also bring them into responsible participation in the parish. Our high-school students have the opportunity to help plan and lead retreats, work with younger teens at youth group meetings, and with children in faith formation sessions and vacation bible camp. We also provide scholarships to teens to attend Foundations, the Diocesan five-day Christian leadership training program.
