The HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP is a gathering of young parishioners and their friends, grades 9-12, who participate together in activities such as meetings, dances, fundraisers, trips, charitable projects, informal get-togethers and religious experiences.
The HSYG generally holds a meeting once a month on Fridays from 6:30 to 9pm (see the complete schedule below or
click to download the Schedule flyer). This year we will follow a new meeting format. For example, we expect a typical night to consist of a half hour intro, followed by 2 hours of fun & fellowship:
First Half Hour:
Opening – Music, prayer & icebreaker game
Faith Time – A short talk by ministry or community guest, teen or team member with a small group discussion or questions to follow
Remaining 2 hours:
Food, Games, Movies, Music, Service Activities, Social Time & More!
Center Stage Activities may include: Minute to Win It, Whose Line Is It Anyway, Let’s Make a Deal & more!
Side Stage Activities may include: Xbox 360, movies, board games, karaoke & more!
Here's the complete 2015-16 Schedule. Please note that there are special days for September and October because of football season:
