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 start out each youth group with a snack and prayer, then we either have a service project or Jesus Centered Fun! 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 Ambassadors 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 2021-22 will be next Friday, August 20th. 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:New this year! The first half of the year, we will use Ascension Press's The Teen Timeline, the teen version of the revolutionary Great Adventure Bible Timeline, which teaches teens the Bible by showing them the “big picture” of salvation history. This will consist of 30 minute videos, small group discussions, and discipleship. The Bible Study will take place 2x per week on Mondays right after school until 5:00 pm. We will start with coffee and/or smoothies and a snack before diving in! 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 Ambassadors 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 30th!
Besides Youth Group and Bible Study, Youth Ministries sponsors activities and events for Jr. High and High School youth in our parish.
