SPECIAL INVITATION FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEENS
Travel to Long Beach California for NCYC – Nov. 19-22
Join Father Flavian, Chris Otis and 5,000+ other teens from around the country at the National Catholic Youth Conference where faith comes alive as the young Church comes together to encounter Christ and one another! Be there to support Chris Otis, who will be presented with the Saint John Paul II Parish Leadership Award!
If you are interested, reach out to Chris Otis ASAP as there are only 5 teen spots available. You MUST be able to take Thursday and Friday off from school as we leave on a Thursday morning flight and will return on Sunday. The diocese is covering the cost of the conference fee and we are looking for sponsors to help cover the cost of the airfare and hotel accommodations for our contingent.

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!
