Youth Ministry

Director of Youth Ministry: Sean Farrell (stceciliayg@gmail.com)

Our Mission

We believe that all grammar school graduates need a place to keep friendships alive. Our youth ministry helps you to keep in touch with former classmates who are in different high schools and a place to bring new friends. Whether you participate in one activity or all activities is based on your own personal schedule. Everything is optional.

Daily Spiritual Reflections

Watch a video reflection on the day's scripture. You can also read or listen to the daily readings from the New American Bible. View Now >>

For Whom?

Any high school student in the parish and their friends from other parishes are welcome.

What we do

There is a Sunday monthly meeting on a specific theme. Our goal is to deal with timely issues in the light of our faith. There is always time for Ice Breakers, Open Gym, and snacks at every monthly meeting.

Once a month the Youth Group is in charge of the 9:30 AM Family Mass. Youths are given a chance to participate as greeters, lectors, gift bearers, as well as preparing donuts and coffee for our fellow parishioners. Members can have leadership roles in the annual Thanksgiving Retreat. Sophomores may apply to be on the Confirmation team. Seniors may apply to be on the team for the 8th grade retreat.

Recreation Activities

During the summer we have a Water World Adventure, River Rafting on the South Fork of the American River: Level Four. During the year there will be at least six youth group activities such as the Ski Retreat, Thanksgiving Retreat, rock climbing, Lock-Ins, bowling, and ice skating.
