Jr. High Youth Group Disciplinary ActionsIn order to keep youth group enjoyable and safe for everyone, we will be addressing rude, disrespectful, or other adverse behavior in the following ways:
1st Offense: The student will receive a “verbal warning”. Any adult leader may give a verbal warning as needed.
2nd Offense: The student will receive a “written warning”. We will ask the student to sign the warning letting them know their next offense will result in their parents attending youth group with them or, if parents are unable to attend, that the student will be asked to sit out the next youth group.
3rd Offense: We will contact student’s parents and request a parent attend youth group with the student. If parents are unable to attend, the student will be asked to sit out the next youth group.
4th Offense: If behavior continues, student will not be permitted back to youth group for the remainder of the school year.

Youth Group:Each month, the Jr. High youth of St. Louis, Holy Family, and St. Anthony Parishes (and surrounding parishes!) are invited to Jr. High Youth Group twice per month on Friday right after school until 5:00. We will be holding these in St. Louis School, mostly in Room B1 (room just outside the Cafeteria). If your student attends another school or is homeschooled, they will be welcomed by one of our Student Ambassador Leaders and escorted to the correct room. This is a great way to get to know other Jr. High students while growing in your faith.
The first Jr. High Youth Group for 2022-23 will be next Friday, August 19th. We will start the year off with a Pizza Party! Please make sure to indicate any food allergies on the registration forms. I personally purchase all snacks to ensure all allergy concerns are met. Please do not send snacks with your student unless you make alternate arrangements with me. We want to make sure all of our students are safe.Bible Study:Again this year we will have Jr. High Bible Study! The first half of the year, we will be discussing Eucharistic Miracles as well as learning about some dynamic saints. The Bible Study will take place 2x per week on Mondays right after school until 5:00 pm. We will again be offering coffee, hot chocolate, and/or smoothies and a snack. We will be holding these in St. Louis School in B1 (room just outside the Cafeteria). If your student attends another school or is homeschooled, they will be welcomed by one of our Student Ambassador Leaders and escorted to the correct room. This is another great way to get to know other Jr. High students while growing in your faith.The first Bible Study will take place on August 22nd!
All dates are tentative and subject to canceling or rescheduling for reasons beyond our control.Friday Youth Group Monday Bible Study August 19 August 22 September 2 September 12 September 16 September 26 October 7 October 17 October 21 October 31 November 4 November 14 November 18 November 28 December 2 December 12 December 16 January 9 January 6 January 23 January 20 February 6 February 3 February 27 February 17 March 6 March 3 March 20 March 24 -
