9th through 12th Graders

From the Youth Minister's Desk
Hi, I'm Amy Schneider, the Youth Minister here at St. Mary's. You probably have a lot going on - school, friends, family, sports and all that goes along with growing up. If these areas are important to you, then youth ministry is important to you. We provide a safe environment where everyone can feel welcome and a part of something great. Our goal is that every young person can come to understand their own goodness and the needed contribution they can make to each other and this world. Come be a part of an organization built around helping others, having fun, and making new friends. Come give Youth Ministry a chance!

Youth Mass - Sundays At 5pm
Come celebrate the teen Mass, where the music is contemporary, the homily is relevant and the environment is welcoming.

Musicians Wanted
The Sunday 5:00pm Mass music group is looking for additional singers/instrumentalists to help celebrate this popular Mass. It will get your week off to a great start! If interested call the music office at 627-4280.

Youth Fellowship - Sundays at 6pm
Campus Ministry Room in Marist Hall. The night usually begins with food and social time, followed by a game or two designed to build community and strengthen friendships. Each week we discuss a ìHot Topicî that teens have to confront, with special service, speakers and recreation activities on certain Sundays.

High School Religious Ed.
Monday nights 7:30 - 8:30pm in Marist Hall. No books, no homework, this is not your grade school religious ed! Come talk about different topics and issues that teenagers deal with, and look at what God's Word has to say about them. Come grow in faith, the journey never ends!
