Middle School Youth Group – Sundays 12:30-2pm The focus of this group is essentially community building, connecting students with peers in our parish community. Students in 6^th-8^th 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----------------- Hershey Park: MS and HS Trip, Sunday Aug 24^th 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.

Middle School Snow Tubing, Sunday January 20^th We had a bunch of our Middle Schoolers brave what ended up being the coldest day of the winter for our trip up to Ski Liberty to go snow tubing.
