Goals of Youth Ministry

• To teach the youth how to pray
• To provide a space where youth can wrestle with questions about the Faith
• To encourage fellowship, where youth can find lifelong Catholic friends.
• To promote the Sacred Tradition, Scripture, and Doctrines of the Catholic Faith.
• To live a life dedicated in service of God, the parish, and the community.
• To help students to discern their vocation in life. (Priesthood, Religious Life, Marriage, Single Life)

Why is Youth Ministry Important for my Child?

Youth Ministry provides a place for middle and high schoolers to delve deeper into their faith, take it as their own, and deepen their living relationship with the LORD. Jesus sent His disciples out two by two (Lk 10:1 RSVCE), and youth ministry provides a place for youth to find Catholic friends to support them on their journey to becoming a saint. Youth Ministry equips youth to be strong in their Faith and lead others to Christ Jesus. Youth are a vibrant, important part of our Church in the here and now, and it is our responsibility to help them on this journey.

Do you have a 6th-8th grader or high school student who needs sacraments? Is this the right place?

Yes! At Holy Spirit, we offer a two-year program for students seeking sacraments. The only requirement is that your child attends our fun and engaging youth group. As the year goes on, we’ll reach out to you to discuss the details for preparing your child to receive the sacraments.

When does Youth Group start?

Junior High Students (6th-8th grade): Begin September 8 in the Social Hall

High School Students: Begin September 11 in the Upper Room

Be sure to register your child, as we’ll provide more information in the coming weeks!
