Scholarships for summer events, Confirmation retreats, registration fees, and other events. Because of YOUR support we were able to lower the price of our summer events by $100 per teen! This allowed almost 150 teens to register for summer events and camps in 2022! Your generosity this year will help us to build on this momentum and get even more teens involved in these life changing camps and retreats.
Because of your support in 2022 we will be taking teens on a mission trip to San Juan, TX in the Rio Grande Valley. On this mission we will serve the needy in the San Juan area through projects at residents' homes, community charity centers, and we will facilitate vacation bible school for a parish that would not otherwise have the resources to do so for their elementary students.
Enhance our youth room. With our new Ministry Hall now built, we will be using proceeds from this run to make a conducive gathering space for teens after school. So far, we have bought tons of board games, a video game system along with several games, and kept the fridge stocked for the teens weekly. This will be a place for teens to study, pray, and have fun together.
We also were able to bring in several high-quality guest speakers from our local community and beyond. The quality of these speakers at our youth nights has no doubt contributed to the continued growth of our youth ministry program. There is a huge enthusiasm amongst our teens and we have one of our largest Confirmation class ever on track to be confirmed in 2023.
