On the first Sunday of every month from October to May, a contemporary Teen Mass is held at 5:00 p.m. Although it is geared towards youth, all parishioners are invited and encouraged to attend. In fact, there is a special youth Mass in June at the Parish Picnic for all to attend. The Mass is followed by fun activities for teens in grades 7-12. The Youth Ministry is lead by teen peer ministers with adult advisers. They conduct fun social events while building on a moral based and “Christ like” framework. They are also involved in community service projects, fund raisers and attend retreats.
