St. Patrick Parish Youth Ministry

Mission Statement

We, the youth of St. Patrick Parish are driven by the power of Jesus Christ to pray, to serve and to grow in our faith.
With Christ like actions we reach out to our community through ministry, education, and social activities.
Together we hope to grow not only in numbers but also in faith, hope and love.

Youth Group activities are open to all students in grades 8th thru 12th

We meet on the first and third Sundays of each month in the Teen Room in St. Patrick Center,
right after 5:00 p.m. Mass (6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.)

We pray, play games like pool and ping pong, listen to music, have small discussions.

Each month we participate in a service project in our community, including yard work for the Carmelites,
Souper Bowl of Caring, Lovewalk for the Poor.

We also enjoy monthly social activities such as the Gateway Clipper Cruise, cookout and bonfire,
Christmas party and movie nights.
