Ignite offers an opportunity to build a community of brotherhood and sisterhood in Christ, find answers to lifeā€™s tough questions, and develop a relationship with Jesus that will help guide them through their teenage years in todayā€™s world. Gatherings will be from 4:30-6:00 PM unless otherwise noted. They include fun activities, games, group prayer, and small-group discussions on important topics related to faith, prayer, and living in our world as Catholics. There will be other events scattered throughout the year which will include adoration, service projects, and social nights! Subscribe to text notifications here.

Important Updates

  • Due to the Superbowl on Feb. 9th, Ignite and Ablaze will be moved. Ignite will start at 12:15pm immediately after the 11am Mass. Ablaze will take place at 2:15pm.

    Thank you to everyone who responded in regard to our Parent Meeting and Potluck date! We will be meeting Feb. 16 at 5:30pm to dig into some delicious food! During our parent meeting, the kids will have an event of their own in the Lounge/Gym. The event will end by 7:30pm at the latest. There is still time to sign up to bring something here.

  • Please look at the Parent Letter sent home yesterday regarding the addition of Life Teen/Edge Curriculum. In addition, fill out the form for our parent meeting/roundtable for the Spring. We will need to have a decided date by the end of the week.

  • Hi everyone, you may have previously seen that we were having a joint Ignite and Ablaze night paired with our parent meeting this Sunday, Jan. 5th. This is no longer the case.

    Due to a family emergency in my own life and needing to take time off of work, we are slightly behind schedule with the full rollout of our Edge program and all pieces. I will be reaching out early next week with an updated date and time for our parent meeting regarding Life Teen/Edge for you all to put to your family calendars.

    This week, we will remain with our normal format of Ignite (now affiliated with Edge) at 4:30 pm. As always, please reach out with any questions and I will be back in touch as soon as possible.

Parents

We're so glad you are here! All important information for parents can be found on this page.

Parent Meeting & Potluck

RSVP for Parent Meeting & Potluck - All youth group parents will be meeting with our youth minister, Kaitlyn, on February 16 at 5:30 PM to dig into some delicious food and learn more about our new Life Teen program for Ignite & Ablaze!

Subscribe to Text Notifications - Stay up to date on all the latest new and reminders sent to your phone!

Medical Release Form - Please make sure your child's medical release form for the 2024-25 is completed for school year prior to September 8, 2024. These can be turned into the front office. This is essential for your child's safety and well-being and is required to participate in Parish activities in the future. If you are unsure if it is completed, or you are having difficulty obtaining one, please contact us.

Volunteer Form - Please sign-up to volunteer as a SafeParish volunteer! In order to ensure the safety of your child, we partake in the SafeParish program of Child Protection. We require at least one parent volunteer per youth night. However, in order to give the children the best experience possible, 2-4 adults are ideal. Please graciously consider donating your time to help the program.

Summer 2025 Interest Form - All Interest Forms for Summer Programming are due by September 3rd! Kaitlyn will be in touch with getting you all resources.
