Mission Statement...We are a Catholic family,
living our awareness of Christ’s presence through worship, service, evangelization and community
for the benefit of all.
Hello 7th-grade families.
I am hopeful you and your family have had a blessed and restful summer as we prepare for a new school year. What a crazy and unique time to be a young person these days. Our hope for our young people is to encounter Jesus, see His love and guidance through the Church, ask a lot of great questions, and know that they are unique and unrepeatable. We each bring a piece of God's grace to our world, our friends, and our family.
In 1 Timothy, St. Paul makes it clear that, as young people, you are valued and appreciated by God right now, "Let no one look down on you because you are young..." We are excited to offer our 7th graders an opportunity to gather and learn about our Catholic Faith in the midst of our busy and sometimes stressful lives.
Throughout this year, along with Religious education, we will offer a variety of youth ministry, retreat, and social opportunities to grow in our faith and friendships. We are hopeful that your middle schoolers to stay active in their faith. We will continue with our Thursday youth ministry events / 7:00-8:30 PM at the Oak Street Church location. friends are welcome
See below for further information, volunteer opportunities and a calendar of our year.
God Bless,
