We envision our young people deepening their personal relationship and discipleship with Jesus Christ, understanding and loving the Church He established, developing Christian friendships, and growing in virtue
in a non-threatening yet challenging way.
High School
All 9th - 12th graders are welcome to attend High School Youth Group on Sundays from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. We gather for dinner, games, friendship, discussions about our faith, and living our faith in this sometimes-challenging world. Service is also an important part of what we do. We do service projects both at Sacred Heart and out in the community. High School Youth Group is open to all high school teens. Friends are welcome regardless of faith.
Middle School
All 6th - 8th graders in the parish are invited to participate in the Middle School Youth Group. We meet every other Sunday from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm in the parish hall. Our goal is to allow our middle school youth to interact with Catholic friends who share their beliefs and can encourage them to live a Christian life. Our meetings consist of playing games, learning about our faith, and doing service projects at Sacred Heart.
