Welcome to High School Youth Ministry!

High school can be a time of tremendous growth, challenge, and change. We often think about who is influencing our teens’ decisions, values, and future. An equally important question is: Who is walking with them in faith? 

Today’s world is filled with competing voices vying for the attention of our young people. High School Youth Ministry (HSYM) offers a place where teens can hear the voice of Christ through Scripture, prayer, and one another. It is also a place where they can discover they are not alone in their Catholic faith and that there are peers striving to follow Jesus alongside them.

At HSYM, our mission is to help teens grow in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, understanding the Mass, exploring Scripture, and building meaningful friendships through small-group discussions centered on the Sunday readings. Rather than following a rigid curriculum, we seek to create space for young people to encounter Christ, share openly, and discover how He is working in their lives. We trust that Jesus will guide us as we grow together in faith and discipleship. 

HSYM is designed with flexibility in mind. We recognize that high school students balance academics, athletics, extracurricular activities, jobs, and family commitments. Students are encouraged to participate whenever they are able on scheduled Monday evenings.

At High School Youth Ministry, we strive to create a place where faith is authentic, questions are welcomed, friendships are formed, and there are plenty of snacks along the way! Students will find a community where they can belong, grow, and explore their faith, while parents can feel confident knowing their teens are being encouraged and supported in their walk with Christ. Together, we help students build lasting friendships, strengthen their faith, and deepen their relationship with Jesus.
