High School Youth Ministry

“This is what is needed: a Church for young people, which will know how to speak to their heart, and enkindle, comfort, and inspire enthusiasm in it with the joy of the Gospel and the strength of the Eucharist…” (St. Pope John Paul II, 1995)

Our St. Mary's Youth Ministry program provides opportunities for all high schoolers (Grades 9-12) to grow in their faith, find fellowship with peers, and serve others in our community. Together, we strive to live out the universal call to holiness as missionary disciples. 

We are open to all young people regardless of which school they attend or financial ability. Many events do not have a cost but for those that do, please confidentially contact Jacob Blackwell if you need assistance in order for your child to be able to participate. Any fees associated with events will be communicated. Donations to help fund social and service experiences are heartily welcome.

Please contact Jacob Blackwell with any comments, questions, or concerns or to be placed on the high school email list. You can regularly refer to St. Mary's parish bulletin and Flocknote, this webpage, and St. Mary's Youth Ministry Facebook & Instagram for any announcements.
