Many opportunities are available for youth, parents, and other adults to serve the needs of our youth for fun, education, prayer, spiritual growth, and service. Our goal is to offer programs TO, WITH, BY and FOR youth. We have a strong Peer Leading program and many opportunities for young people to lead in our parish.
For grades 9 - 12, meets twice a month using the same schedule as the family GIFT program. Our meetings are held in the Youth Room located in Martha House (Parish Center). The group meets at 12:30 pm.
St John’s is happy to have an instructional basketball program for 3rd - 4th grade girls and boys and competitive leagues for boys and girls basketball grades 5-12.
The National Catholic Youth Conference is an exciting, biennial three-day experience of prayer, community, and empowerment for Catholic teenagers and their adult chaperones. The schedule includes keynote addresses, concurrent and workshop sessions addressing a wide variety of topics. There are also opportunities for liturgy, reconciliation, prayer and worship, recreation and special activities such as concerts, exhibits, and the interactive thematic park.
Every two years St. John’s sends youths and adults to this national three-day event. Help is needed to support, prepare and accompany this group.
