Hello Teens and Parents of Teens!

Welcome to the Youth Ministry Page.  For upcoming dates, access the Youth Ministry Calendar under Link on the side bar. 

This week as you go forward offer this as your prayer - God of love, help us to allow your reign in our hearts as we strive to imitate your Son in sharing that love. Through Christ, our Lord, we pray, Amen.   Questions - send me an email. Hoping to see you all soon.

For details, go to the Confirmation, Youth Group, or Liturgy Pages.
 

Youth Ministry provides teens in high school with opportunities to learn, share, and build a faith community.  We partner with parents to continue to build and support their teen’s faith journey during the high school years in five ways:
+ By fostering their spiritual growth in the sacramental life of the Church,
+ By promoting teen participation in the life of our parish,
+ By reminding teens that they are a child of God and loved by Jesus,
+ By showing teens how their life has purpose as they discover and develop the gifts
   in each that God has graced them with, and, 
+ By working with teens as they serve others in need.

Teens have many opportunities at St. Perpetua for learning and experiencing to see how their faith can help them navigate the challenges of being a teen in today’s world.  We meet weekly in different ways from early September through mid-May to take a look at our faith at work today (sacraments, scripture, the Church, morality, community, and prayer).  There are four components of our parish youth ministry. Follow the link for each component in the left hand column for details and the calendar.

1. Youh Group Gatherings - Teens explore how they can incorporate our faith into everyday life. 
2. Sacrament of Confirmation preparation - we offer a one-year intensive program that starts in September.
3. Teen / Family Youth Masses and Liturgical Celebrations; and,
4. Service oppoertunities in the parish and community.

To start this year, follow the link for registering. Complete the registration and drop it by the parish office, bring to mass, or the first gathering.  For further information, go to the page in the links section. Once you are registered, look for a confirming e-mail and weekly communication.
