High School Youth Group
– Wednesdays 7-9pm The
focus of this group is essentially community building, connecting teens with
peers in our parish community.
Students in 9th-12th grade come together to hang
out, play games, talk, and pray. It is
a drop in group, so anyone is welcome any week they can make it. We provide snacks and drinks, and order pizza
for the group. A suggested $2 donation
to help cover the pizza is asked each meeting. ------------------Coming
Soon----------------- High School Soup Kitchen
Severs, 2nd & 5th Friday Every
second and fifth Friday of the month a small group of our high schoolers
server dinner at the Frederick Community Action Agency’s Soup Kitchen. The time commitment is minimal, 5-7pm. This is a great way to give back to the
community and hang out with some of your friends. If you are interested in getting involved,
just contact Brian for details. One last hooray before the start of school… join
us for rollercoasters and a killer waterpark as we say goodbye to
summer. This event is open to all
rising Middle School and High School youth, but our space is limited (mostly
by the number of adults we can get) so sign up as early as you can! We are looking for a bunch of adults to
help out with this, so if you are interested please drop me a line and let me
know. Click here for the flier/permission form. -------------------Recent
