The Youth Ministry Program is for children from Grades 6-11.
Classes are held Wednesday evenings from 7:00pm to 8:15pm. Each year begins with an Open House where families can come and meet their catechist, receive a Family Handbook, pay tuition fees, have a treat, sign up to win door prizes, and ask any questions that you may have.
The Director of Religious Education is Ms. Jodi Murphy.

Our Youth Ministry program includes a strong emphasis on knowledge of the Catholic faith, involvement in prayer experiences, mini retreats and/or guest speakers. Students receive the sacrament of Reconciliation each year, attend Mass with their families and take part in prayer services.
