Our Youth Ministry-Catholics in Action- is based off of the scripture from 1 Timothy: 4-12. "Let no one look down on you for your youth, but rather set an example for believers in faith, hope, purity, speech and love." It is for this reason, that we believe that all youth should feel welcome at youth events. You do not have to be in the Confirmation program to participate in Youth Ministry, all are welcome!

Youth Nights- Youth nights are weekly gatherings of teens in which we creatively discuss a topic of faith and give the youth the tools and skills needed to practically apply God's message to their lives. These meetings are every Monday from 6:30-8:30 PM in the Kennedy Center*.
