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 200 teens to register for summer events and camps! 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.
We were able to take a group of teens on a mission trip to McAllen, TX this past summer, where we served the poor near the border by working in food pantries, building fences, painting homes, etc...
Furnishing the youth room. As we begin the building process of the new parish hall, we will be using proceeds from this run to furnish the youth room to make for a conducive gathering space for teens after school. This will be a place for teens to study, pray, and have fun together.
Guest Speakers. This past year we were able to bring in several nationally renowned speakers. We also were able to bring in several high-quality speakers from our local community. The quality of these speakers at our youth nights has no doubt contributed to the continued growth of our youth ministry program. In four years, our youth ministry program has more than doubled in size in part due to the dynamic and engaging speakers that we have been blessed to have.
