SMT 2026

It is time to make sure that your summer has a faith plan! 

This year, we are headed back down to Martin, Kentucky June 27-July 2, 2026 for what will be a memorable experience for your teen as we work with representatives of the Christian Appalachian Project to do home repair.  I can tell you from my many trips to Kentucky to deliver Christmas stockings and our summer trip last year … so many of our brothers and sisters down there live in homes that are not safe, warm and dry and this summer … WE CAN AND WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
 
Our evenings will be spent together with activities that will deepen our teen’s faith, singing praise and worship songs and just plain having fun together!
 
And … Father Flavian will be travelling with us to ensure we can have daily Mass and an Adoration experience!
 
So … how do you get your rising freshman to graduating senior signed up for one of our 20 teen spots?
 
Please Click Here to learn more about the trip/costs and see why a teen should go!

Please be aware that space is limited … so do not delay – spots are filling up!
First come, first serve!  Spaces are allocated to Slt. Aloysius parishioners first!
Please feel free to call if you have any questions!

Teens ... A little spiritual advice

Romans 12:1-2 calls us to daily transformation of our minds so we can know and live out God’s will for us. “I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.”

Join us for our Youth Ministry prayer, service and worship opportunities … encounter The One, through TRUTH, BEAUTY & GOODNESS!

Perhaps you will ask for God’s help to:
Come to Mass EVERY Sunday

  • Attend 5pm Teen Mass with contemporary praise & worship band music and a “student section”
  • Participate in monetary stewardship. Every Sunday bring cash to put into the basket … give up something for the week and give what you would have spent on it to GOD!

Consider attending Daily Mass
Once-a-week or even just once-a-month at our Before School Teen Masses!

Join your peers at Teen Eucharistic Adoration AND our Teen-Friendly Rosary!
Once a month, gather in community for these beautiful prayer devotions.

Dive into Scripture
Spend more time with God’s Word and how it applies to your life as a teen! Watch for our dates for Guy’s & Girl’s Bible Study.

Pray Daily
Just talk to God or try a Catholic Prayer App like Hallow at https://hallow.com or in the app store!

Work on Overcoming What Tempts You
Develop virtuous habits that lead you closer to Christ AND partake of the Sacrament of Reconciliation!
We offer the Sacrament on Saturday afternoons and at every Teen Adoration!

Serve in Goodness
Join your peers in the goodness of loving and serving our brothers and sisters! We offer many opportunities each month as well as mission trips and Youth Conferences!

Get your red StAY t-shirt ($20) for our Youth Ministry events.  
We also have a limited number of medium and large StAY Hoodies ($30)
 
Need a little “Lord, I Need You” pick me up?
