Covid19 Programs

Our programs have fully resumed in person meetings. Weather or Covid exposures could cause them to move temporarily online. CDC and VHD guidlines are followed during meetings along with extra precautionary measures such as hand sanitizers and additional cleaning of common touch surfaces. 

High School Groups (Senior CYM)

Sr CYM: Sundays 
6:30PM - 8:30PM at St John's Parish Center
Here High School Youth have the opportunity for formation & fellowship.  We use the Ecclesial Method of Catechesis.  This means we generally begin with an activity, move into a talk, break open the topic in small groups or a reflection & then conclude the night with a prayer & a challenge for youth to take into their week.

Discipleship: Tuesdays
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM at St John's Conference Room**
This groups 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: Thursdays
7:30pm-9:00pm at St John's Conference Room**
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**
Here Middle School youth have the opportunity for formation & fellowship.  We use the Ecclesial Method of Catechesis.  This means we generally begin with an activity, move into a talk, break open the topic in small groups or a reflection & then conclude the night with a prayer & challenge for youth to take into their week.
