Youth Ministry

We are a community of high school (9th-12th grade) and middle school (7th-8th grade) teens, adults, and parents centered on leading teens toward an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ.

Our mission is to create a community where young people can encounter Christ and be formed as disciples. We strive to be authentic, joyful, loving, and evangelical in practicing our Catholic faith. We empower teens to grow in holiness through Scripture, the Sacraments, prayer, retreats, and weekly ministry opportunities high school students. Any high school teen can join us for any event!

What is going on in Youth Ministry?

We are so excited for Summer Youth Ministry at St. Gerard! 

Our Summer events include Open office hours, pray and plays, and our 'normal' youth groups! (you can check the group me or instagram for the most current offerings)

Office hours are an opportunity for high school teens to come to SGM and just spend time with thier friends in the youth room- there is not much structure, but I am around to walk with them, and maybe think of a game or two!

Pray and play is just that! We pray and we play a game. It's a lot of fun, and one of my favorite events. 

Youth ministry over the summer if reflecting on the Saints. We are talking about how the Saints are influential to our lives, and how they can be influential to the lives of others. 

BIG EVENTS:

We also are going to Steubenville July 11-13th! Please pray for us. Steubenville is a wonderful opportunity for the teens to encounter the Church and the Lord in a beautiful way. Teens will have opportunities to encounter Jesus through a variety of talks, small groups, and the Sacraments. It should be a weekend packed with grace. 

Totus Tuus, a catechetical summer program, is coming to SGM again this year! The dates for Totus Tuus this year are July 14th-17th! 8 missionaries will be present at SGM to bring the faith and love of Jesus and Mary to the teens of SGM. This includes high school and middle school! Excited to see a large turn out!

NIGHTLY programming will take place starting on the 14th. It will last until the 18th! Meet us in the youth room from 7-9PM. We are so excited to see you there!

Here is a calendar of all the events that we have for the month of July. We are so excited to continue to grow our program, and spread the love of our Lord to the Church.
