Youth Ministry

“It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle.”

-St. John Paul II

Transform High School Youth Ministry meets Sundays from 6:15-8:15pm in the youth room, located on the second floor of Holy Family Catholic School. The youth are provided with an environment of encounter with the Lord, where they can grow in their faith, understanding, and love. This is achieved through dynamic youth nights, missionary opportunity, time before the Blessed Sacrament, quarterly retreats, and fun filled offsite excursions. Ultimately, the teens will be given the tools to boldly live their faith in a world that generally tends to stand in opposition to the Gospel, in preparation for college and beyond.

Fraternus meets Sundays from 2:30-4:30 pm. We need good Catholic Men in society and the Fraternus Ministry is doing its part to fulfill this need by mentoring boys into virtuous Catholic Men.  The Fraternus Ministry is inviting Dads and their sons grades 6th-12th to participate in the program. Younger and older adult men without sons who are looking to mentor are also welcome to participate.

The Little Way girls ministry meets Tuesdays from 7:00-8:30 pm. Girls from 6th-12th grade are invited to come be apart of a dynamic women's discipleship group. Along with diving into Sacred Scripture, we'll be exploring the lives of strong female saints and how they lived out these powerful lessons and virtues. Together with our mentors, we will journey through the Word of God and discover the endless depths of the Fathers love for us.

Little Flowers Girls’ Club® is a Catholic club for girls grade 3-5 that teaches virtues through scripture, saints’ biographies and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Like a scouting program, girls earn badges for the virtues they have practiced, life skills they have learned. But unlike most scouting organizations, the girls learn and earn their badges through a distinctly Catholic lens. This Catholic to the Core program relies on the stories of the saints, Sacred Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Little Flowers meets on the first Wednesday of every month from 3:00-4:30.

When One truly encounter Jesus, One does not simply remain the same afterward. This encounter requires a response. Either you walk away better or bitter. Our call as Catholic Christians is not to just follow the flow of the crowd and be conformed to society, but to be transformed into counter cultural Disciples. As stated by St. Paul in Romans 12:2. “Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.”
