Youth and Young Adult Ministry

Youth & Young Adult Ministry

​Youth and young adults are not only future stewards of the Gospel, but they have gifts and talents that enable them to share the good news of Jesus even now. Youth ministry is not simply for their own personal development and growth as Christians, but to equip them to offer all of their time, talents, and treasure as stewards of the Gospel.
  • Young Catholics must be given formation in the faith that helps them realize that Jesus is alive, present, and active in their lives and in the world. Helping them digest the Word of God and to understand the intimate encounter with Jesus we are offered in the Eucharist are keys to their formation.
  • Young Catholics must become aware from their earliest days that the Church is essentially missionary, and that their own participation as stewards of the Gospel can bring many to Christ in their schools, on their sports teams, in their places of work, in their social networks, and in the wider community.
  • Youth must be formed in the mind of Jesus in his concern for the sick, the poor, the hungry, and for those who go astray, and be given formation in how to reach out to others with Christ’s love.

Youth Ministry

St. John Vianney Youth Ministry offers middle and high school youth in grades 6 through 12 the chance to find purpose and relevance in their faith. Young people are invited to LIVE their faith through fellowship and fun social (although they might be socially distanced right now!) activities, to LIGHT the world through service to the community and to each other, and to LOVE Christ through worship and faith formation.
 
All of our programs are open to any youth in grades 6 - 12 regardless of school, religious affiliation and residency. There are new youth joining us every week and we hope that you will be one of them! Invite your friends!
 
St. John Vianney also hosts various other teen events such as lock-ins, retreats and bible studies.
 
NOTE:  Due to current restrictions, all Youth Ministry sessions will be held online via Zoom.  At such time as we are allowed to gather in person again, youth will be given the option of attending in person or online.  All participants in Youth Ministry are encouraged complete the Digital and Photo Consent Form before participating in their second session.

Join Text Updates for Teens

Stay in the know with text updates on youth ministry events for you and your child. St. John Vianney uses a platform called Flocknote to communicate with youth about upcoming events or changes in programing.  This platform sends text messages both to the child and parent, keeping parents in the know while also empowering kids to take initiative in participation.  This platform keeps your personal numbers private and allows a safe way for staff to communicate with minors.
