Youth Gatherings

Youth Gatherings are for teens in Grades 9th - 12th.  The teens gather most Sunday evenings from 6:30 - 8:45 (see bulletin for date changes).  Our gatherings are on topics of teen interest.  For example Gossip, relationships etc.  Most gatherings are lead by teens with an adults help and direction.  We always find a reading or two from the Bible and discuss what the church Catechesis says about the topic.  Each gathering is ended with Shared prayer.
