High School Youth

High school youth ministry seeks to minister to, with, by, and for youth in grades 9 to 12. Open to all high school youth, youth ministry includes opportunities for socializing, spiritual development, direct service to others, and personal growth.

High School Youth Drop-In nights:  

Join us Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the Kateri Room. All high school youth are welcome to join us as we learn more about our Catholic faith, explore the upcoming Sunday Gospel reading, share faith with each other, and eat lots of pizza and other snacks. Bring your favorite soda to share and your bible! No RSVP needed, just DROP IN!

PEER MINISTRY LEADERSHIP TEAM:
Our High School Peer Ministers are young people who have received the Sacrament of Confirmation and have a desire to serve their peers as young disciples. They are involved with the planning and presentation of the youth Confirmation program, Youth Drop-In Nights, and various other Youth Ministry programs and activities. Many of these youth participate in youth leadership training such as High-LI (High School Leadership Institute) and JAW (Justice Action Week) sponsored by the Archdiocese of Baltimore, Division of Youth and Young Adult Ministry.

Peer Ministry Leadership Team Meetings: We meet the first Tuesday of the month from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the Kateri room.  If you wish to join this group or would like more information on peer ministry, contact Ken in the Youth Ministry Office.
