Middle School Youth Group

Middle School Youth Group (Grades 6-8) will meet the first three Wednesdays of each month, in the Youth Room, from 6:00pm-7:15pm.
Holidays and Holy Days may adjust the dates slightly. Check out the "Kids Teen Calendar" for actual dates.

Our Middle School Youth Group welcomes 6th–8th graders into a community where faith, friendship, and fun come together. Rooted in Christ, we grow through prayer, Scripture, and shared experiences. We radiate His love by building meaningful relationships and serving others, and we respond to His call by learning how to live our Catholic faith each day.

Middle School Youth Group is a fun, faith-filled community for 6th–8th graders to grow closer to Christ and to one another. We use the TorchBearer curriculum, which puts faith at the forefront while emphasizing friendship, small group discussion, and games.

Each night begins with time to catch up with friends, and food, followed by activities and games that make learning about God interactive and enjoyable. Small groups give teens a chance to explore topics that matter to them and deepen their faith in a supportive environment.

We meet in the Youth Room the first three Wednesdays of each month from 6:00–7:15 PM. The last Wednesday of each month, we do not meet in-person, but give the youth a challenge to live out at home.
