Our mission is to build young men and women of character, to provide a safe, judgement-free environment where we develop young leaders of the faith, connect them with the larger church, make their presence known in the parish, and to become good practicing Catholics.
OUR GOALS- Lead the youth to Christ by being a reflection of Christ.
- Help prepare the youth for life after high school.
- Offer the opportunity to receive the sacraments.
- Help them to become future leaders of the church.
- Involve parents so the faith continues to grow at home with family.

IGNITED is a non-classroom model faith formation for youth that seeks to provide a welcoming, safe, and comfortable atmosphere of learning and faith experience so as to help form our youth and their families in their faith and discipleship.
If you are interested in joining a group who shares your Catholic Christian beliefs, come and be a part of the great social and spiritual activities that members of the Youth Group participate in. There is free food too!
Also, at the bottom this page you will find some additional resources geared towards youth to help enrich and strengthen their faith.

Community Service
Come be a part of a fun, joyful community of young brothers and sisters in Christ who have come together to grow in faith and serve others through the love of God.
To the right, the youth group helped out the St. Vincent de Paul Society with gifts for the homeless and other projects. They were featured on the St. Vincent de Paul newsletter that goes out to all members in the society.
Families can take part of helping St Vincent de Paul, just click here to learn more on how you can get involved. -
