Youth Ministry 6-12
Youth Ministry: [yooth min-uh-stree] noun The response of the Church to the needs of young people fostering their faith in Jesus Christ, developing their identity as sons and daughters of God, and empowering them to live passionately the Great Commission as disciples through the power of the Holy Spirit and the grace of the Sacraments. Serves all middle and high school aged teens.
Youth Ministry is more than just programs and events, it’s a community.

Life Teen (High School): Serving 9th-12th grade teens, LT meets Wednesday nights from 7-8:30pm at St. Pius X. Every month, our nights rotate to provide service, catechesis, prayer and socials (fun!) And every first Wednesday of the month, join us for Exalt, a night of worship, teaching/testimony and Eucharistic adoration. New this year, all freshman are invited to join a Discipleship group that meets monthly for deeper Scripture study and committed community. (This requires a yearlong once/month commitment; groups will schedule their meetings to accommodate teens’ schedules). Community is necessary for all Christians – let Life Teen meet that need for your teen.
Edge (Middle School): Serving 6th-8th grade teens, Edge meets Monday nights from 6:30-8pm at St. Pius. Registration is $45/student or $75/family. Every semester, Edge unpacks a catechetical theme (this fall: The Church) in a relevant way through small groups, teaching/testimonies, worship and prayer, media and games and activities. Middle school teens are not too young to make a commitment to Christ and the Church - give them the tools they need to live that commitment.

Parent Ministry (Moms and Dads): Serving both middle and high school teens’ parents, our new parent ministry will meet on the first Wednesday of every month from 7-8:30pm at St. Pius. Designed to bring community, catechesis and resources to parents of teens, we hope you’ll join us on a spiritual journey alongside your kids with the help of other parents.
RCIY (Rite of Christian Initiation for Youth): RCIY is for all middle and high school teens in need of sacraments. Our sacrament preparation program will meet before Edge/Life Teen in the spring – Edge/LT attendance is required for the full year. Sunday Mass attendance is a must. Register RCIY when you register for LT or Edge.
Core Team (Edge or Life Teen): Young adults, singles, married couples, parents, and grandparent are all welcome and needed to serve the teens of our Edge and LT youth ministry programs! Become a core member and lead teens closer to Christ.
