Our evening is comprised of gathering time, a lesson concerning today’s issues and our response as Catholics, discussion, 15 minutes of Adoration in the Church with our Lord, dinner and an activity. The youth group is also responsible for creating and leading two (2) youth retreats each year. The first retreat is a requirement for the Confirmation candidates and the second is for the 5th – 7th grade PSR students. The Confirmation Candidates also join in to lead the younger youth retreat.
In addition, our youth group participates in fun bonding activities (lock-ins, canoe trips, six flags, volleyball, pool parties, bonfires, etc.), and excursions that include community service projects to put our faith into action.
