High school youth ministry is held on Sundays from 6pm-8pm. We gather in the Aquarium upstairs in the school to discuss things like current hashtags, popular emojis and God. Our main goal is to grow deeper in relationship to God and one another as we continue to cultivate our understanding of who we are and who God is calling us to be. There are always snacks and a good competitive game of ping-pong.
Throughout the year we also attend diocesan sponsored retreat days and overnight lock-ins. St. Charles youth are always welcome to bring friends and toss out new ideas for games and topics. Check out the bulletin for current information and schedules regarding our youth ministry program.
Those in High School should consider attending Notre Dame Vision (NDVision). It is a week-long conference held on the Notre Dame campus where the youth are able to live in the dorms, eat awesome dorm food (no really, it's actually good!), hear amazing talks and meet other youths from around the country!
More information can be found here: http://icl.nd.edu/notre-dame-vision/learn-more/for-high-school-youth/ and keep posted for fundraising opportunities. There are also scholarships available which can be applied for here: http://icl.nd.edu/notre-dame-vision/learn-more/for-high-school-youth/emerging-leaders-scholarship/
