YOUTH MINISTRY

I would like to invite you to the high school men’s discernment group called Jeremiah 1:7. This is a group for men in high school who want to discern the priesthood and possible college seminary, aswell as to be formed as good Catholic men.

You don’t have to be convinced that God is calling you to the priesthood and you don’t have to be at a certain level of discernment. You simply have to be open to God, ready to hear his voice and ready to ask him your questions.

The High School Youth Ministry program is for all high school teens of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish and St. John Student Center in grade 9-12.  Our youth ministry program seeks to empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today, to draw our teens to responsible participation in the life of the Catholic faith community and to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person.   

The sole purpose and goal of STA-SJSC Youth Ministry is to lead teens to a personal encounter with Christ, especially in the Eucharist. The Eucharist is the “source and summit of our Catholic faith.” As Youth leaders, it is our job, with God’s help, to lead teens to this Eucharistic encounter by not only building Christ-centered relationships with teenagers but also providing teens with opportunities for service, events that foster fellowship, youth nights that teach discipleship, times of prayer and worship, and the encouragement they need to be bold for Christ, in our culture and among their peers.
