Welcome to St. Mary’s Youth Ministry 

At St. Mary’s Catholic Church, our Youth Ministry exists for one purpose: to lead teens closer to Christ.
We believe every young person is called to an authentic, joyful relationship with Jesus—and our mission is to help them encounter Him in a real and life-changing way.

Through dynamic faith experiences, community, and service, we offer a space where teens can ask questions, grow in faith, and discover who God created them to be. Our programs are designed to meet youth where they’re at and walk with them on their journey of faith.

Programs We Offer: At St. Mary’s Youth Ministry, our mission is to lead teens closer to Christ through two engaging programs. EDGE (Grades 6–7) helps middle school youth grow in faith and friendship in a fun, Christ-centered environment, while Lifeteen (Grades 8–12) empowers high school teens to deepen their relationship with Jesus and live out their faith boldly in everyday life.

Please see below for a detailed description of each program.

EDGE Program (Gr. 6 & 7) - Gathers Every 2nd & 4th Friday of the Month

EDGE is our Catholic middle school youth ministry program designed especially for Grades 6 and 7. It’s a fun, faith-filled environment where young people can explore their Catholic faith, build lasting friendships, and learn how to live out their faith in everyday life.

EDGE provides a safe and welcoming space for youth to find a solid Catholic community, ask big questions about life and faith, and most importantly encounter Jesus in a real and personal way. Through games, engaging talks, small group discussions, and prayer, we help our “younger siblings in faith” grow in confidence and connection with God.

With the guidance of our dedicated Core Team of high school disciples and adult leaders, EDGE invites youth to discover the joy of being part of the Church and to begin building a lifelong relationship with Christ.

LIFETEEN (Grades 8–12) - Gathers Weekly on Sunday 

As a Eucharist-centered movement within the Roman Catholic Church, our St. Mary's Life Teen program ministry leads teenagers and their families into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.  With the Blessed Virgin Mary as our intercessor and guide, Life Teen program seeks to unleash the fullness of the Sacramental power present within the young Church.
