High School Senior, Kryslyn Williams, daughter of parishioners, Mark and Lori Leasure, was presented the Parish Youth Ministry Honor in July, 2019, at the Parish Youth Ministry Honors Mass held recently at Blessed Sacrament Cathedral. Kryslyn is dedicated to Youth Ministry in the Parish, which included many volunteer service hours, ministry of altar server and faithful Mass attendance. Kryslyn also volunteers as an aide for the Faith Formation Program.

Unable to attend this presentation, but also awarded the Parish Youth Ministry Honor, are two Senior High graduates of the Parish:

Sara Ehrhardt, daughter of Parishioner, Margaret Ehrhardt, and the late Randy Ehrhardt, is devoted to Youth Ministry in the Parish, which includes many service hours, ministry of altar server and an aide for the Faith Formation Program.

Thomas Huffman, son of Parishioners, Chris and Kathy Huffman, is also dedicated to the ministry of cantor.

Both Sara and Thomas are faithful to Mass attendance and each has been the recipient of a Scholarship Award sponsored by the Holy Name Society.

​"What is needed today is a church which knows how to respond to the expectations of young people. Jesus wants to enter into dialogue with them and through his body, which is the church, to propose the possibility of a choice which will require a commitment of their lives. As Jesus, with the disciples of Emmaus, the church must become today the traveling companion of young people." (Youth: Sent to Proclaim True Liberation. World Youth Day, Philippines, 1995.)

Our parish youth ministry incorporates all elements of total youth ministry, while having a lot of fun along the journey.

Senior High School Youth Ministry for teens in ninth through twelfth grade meets on the second Sunday of every month from 12:15 p.m. until 2:00 p.m. in our Conference Room.
