We believe every high school student is called to a deep and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Our High School Youth Group exists to be a welcoming space where teens can grow in their Faith, build lasting friendships, and explore what it means to live as a Catholic today.
Through prayer, the Sacraments, real conversations, and service, we aim to form young disciples who are rooted in Christ and ready to live out the Faith with fidelity, zeal, and joy.
Mission:
Guided by the teachings of the Catholic Church, we are committed to:
Empowering leadership and discipleship by helping teens grow in virtue, confidence, and mission.
Deepening relationships with God through prayer, Scripture, and the Sacraments.
Creating a space of belonging where every teen is welcomed, heard, and supported.
Engaging real-life issues that matter to young people today—faith, identity, relationships, purpose, mental health, and more—through honest conversation and a Catholic worldview.
Living our faith through action with service opportunities that reflect Christ’s love for others.
