Sr CYM: Sundays
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM at St John's Parish Center
Here High School Youth have the opportunity for formation & fellowship. Generally, we begin with an activity, move into a talk, break open the topic in small groups or a reflection and then conclude the night with a prayer/challenge for youth to take into their week.
Discipleship: Tuesdays
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM at St John's Parish Center, Room 6**
This group's aim is to break open the Scriptures in a way that makes it more accessible & applicable to a teen. We begin with a bit of fellowship & snacks before diving into the Scripture reflection.
Leadership: Tuesdays
8:45 PM-9:45 PM at St John's Parish Center, Room 6**
This group is where teens put their desire to serve others into action. They serve their peers & younger youth through a number of different events throughout the school year including youth nights, retreats, & so much more.
Middle School Group (Junior CYM)
Junior CYM: 1st, 3rd & 5th Wednesdays
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM in Parish Center Auditorium**
