Youth Ministry

Middle School
Divine Mercy Pastorate Edge group is an opportunity for middle school youth, 7th-8th grade (6th graders can join if they are interested), to come together in a relaxed environment to encounter Jesus Christ through large and small group activities, sharing faith together while having fun! Middle school youth are ready to explore their faith by asking questions and interacting socially with their peers, all under the guidance of adult facilitators who know them by name and encourage them to grow in their faith in a secure and caring environment.
 
What to Expect at Edge:
  • Middle school-aged youth (6-8 grade) gather in St. Mary's parish hall each Sunday from 4:30pm - 6:00pm with a meal to follow from 6:00pm - 7:00pm

  • Adult catechists are present to facilitate the evening and help youth learn more about the Catholic faith and draw closer to Jesus

  • The evening includes large group presentations, games, and activities combined with small group discussions and breakout sessions

High School

Divine Mercy Pastorate LifeTeen group is an opportunity for high school youth, 9th-12th graders, to come together to encounter Jesus Christ through large and small group activities, sharing faith together, and growing in friendship with one another while having fun! Life is challenging at all ages, and being a teen is no different. Teens are often asking big questions, seeking friendship and belonging, can struggle with anxiety and depression, and are looking for purpose and meaning. We would like to accompany them through this time in their life.

 

What to Expect at LifeTeen:
  • High School youth (9-12 grade) gather in St. Mary's parish hall each Sunday from 6:00pm - 7:00pm for a meal with fellowship and group activities to follow from 7:00pm - 8:30pm

  • Adult catechists are present to facilitate the evening and help youth learn more about the Catholic faith and draw closer to Jesus

  • The evening includes large group presentations, small group discussions, games, prayer, and activities.

 

Adults who enjoy working with middle or high school youth are welcome and necessary for this important ministry to our youth. Training, formation, and resources are provided!
