Youth Ministry

Youth Ministry strengthens our teens’ Catholic identity, while rooting them firmly in Christ and in His Church. Our program leads teenagers and their families into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. With the Blessed Virgin Mary as our intercessor and guide, we seek to unleash the fullness of the Sacramental power present within the young Church.

Youth Ministry Music Ministry

Teen and adult musicians provide the music for our Sunday 5:30 p.m. Mass. The ministry’s contemporary Catholic Christian music is an uplifting and moving departure from traditional worship music. Guitars, percussion, piano, and vibrant, heartfelt vocals are needed.

“Serving the parish through music has made me a better musician and a more faithful person as a whole. I truly believe this ministry has deepened my relationship with God and strengthened my friendships with others.” – Annie Hart

“Becoming involved in music ministry allowed me to deepen my faith in ways that I had never imagined. I have greatly grown in appreciation for the mass, adoration, and worship in general.” – Maggie McCarron

“Music is the door to the soul. Being able to worship through music with my students and parents, as well as the parish strengthens my faith relationship with God and unites us all as one family.” – Jamie Kovarik

“Helping out with music ministry really introduced me to what it means to give back to the church community. After I discovered that I had a natural gift for music, it simply didn’t make sense to keep this gift to myself, and I wanted to put it into the service of God. I quickly discovered that it simply felt right to use my gifts to help my parish family develop their relationships with God, all while diving into this relationship myself.” – Michael Garvin

Time Commitment: Required rehearsals are at 4:00 p.m. on Sundays, prior to Mass.
