High School Youth Ministry

Take a look at what’s coming up!

 
STM is excited to share that registration for our 2nd annual Lenten Retreat: Fast Then Feast” is now open.
 
Lent is a season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday.
 
It’s a period of preparation to celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection at Easter. During Lent, we seek the Lord in prayer by reading Sacred Scripture; we serve by giving alms; and we practice self-control through fasting. We are called not only to abstain from luxuries during Lent, but to a true inner conversion of heart as we seek to follow Christ’s will more faithfully.  (USCCB)
 
If you would like to register yourself or your child for this retreat, you can click this link to fill out the event registration (you must be registered for the respective youth ministry first)
 
We hope to see you there!
 
STM is excited to share our vibrant schedule filled with activities for young people to find their place in the Church!
 
For our High School Youth Ministry we have chosen Bl. Pier Gorgio Frassati as our Patron. We selected “Pier” because of his dedication and fearlessness in proclaiming his Love for Jesus to everyone he encountered.
 
St. John Paul ll dubbed him “The Man of the Beatitudes” since he was constantly giving of himself in every moment to everyone. This outpouring is partially to blame for his early death at 24 from Polio he contracted from someone he was serving. Pier is a shinning example to young people of a life lived virtuously. Despite the culture of death we find ourselves in, Pier is a beacon of hope.
 
Bl. Pier Gorgio Frassati’s canonization will take place on August 3rd, 2025
 
Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati,
Ora Pro Nobis.
