Youth Ministry 

Come join us! 
High School Youth Group (HSYG) meets the first and third Sunday of the month during the school year,12:30-2 pm.
 Middle School Youth Group (MSYG) meets the first Wednesday of the month during the school year, 7-8:30 pm.

All youth in Middle School and High School are invited to attend the youth group meetings beginning in September.

HSYG: When you join us, you share in a number of opportunities to GATHER, SOCIALIZE, PROCLAIM,, and be SENT out in the community!

GATHER: regular meeting times are 12:30-2:00 pm on the first and third Sundays of the month.

SOCIALIZE:  There is always time at our meetings to socialize, play a game of ping pong, catch up with friends, meet new friends, and share some good food.  We also have a Winter Social and a Summer Social gathering/event. Whether we gather for sledding, tobogganing, ice skating, a movie, canoeing or a trip to King's Island, it is a great way to get to know other high school youth of our parish, to celebrate God's goodness and just have some fun!

PROCLAIM: We always spend some time learning more about our faith, how to live it and share it. To foster this journey of faith, we also participate in various retreats, confereneces, and rallies; these include the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC), Ecclesia Novella, March For Life, and Catholic Heart WorkCamp. 

SEND:  Our HSYG also participates in service opportunities for the parish, the community and beyond. These include visiting a local nursing home, making sack lunches for the Harvest Soup Kitchen, volunteering for a tri-parish rummage sale to raise funds for an orphanage in Haiti and volunteering for Habitat for Humanity.
 

►With Jesus as our model, the Youth Ministry works with our middle and high school students to:

• Educate and form them in the Catholic faith, including scripture, sacraments, and morals. 
• Cultivate spirituality, prayer, a sacramental life, and love of our Lord.
• Provide a relaxed atmosphere including planned activities with peers, nurturing strong and supportive relationships.
• Provide training and opportunities for leadership, serving within the Parish, working for social justice, and embracing the call to Christian stewardship. 

Parents and volunteers are appreciated and needed to serve as chaperones, drivers, host activities, small group leaders, and donate snacks.


Registration is free; forms are available throughout the year in the Parish Office vestibule or by contacting Tammy Laudicina at 765-288-5308 or tdlaudicina@stmarymuncie.org
