Youth Programs
1 Timothy 4: 12 “Let no one have contempt for your youth, but set an example for those who believe, in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity.”
Introduction
Our mission is to be a group of young people who strive to follow Christ and, through word and deed, share His teachings with others! Sunday nights contain a wide variety of activities from dinner, games, and social time to activities, presentations, discussion, and prayer. Since we are also a people of service, we have at least one opportunity every couple of months to go out and be of service to our community. Please contact Christina Barnard about one of our Youth Ministry programs.
Youth Group
This is the youth group for all 7-12th graders and also serves as supplementary Religious Education for our teens who attend the city or county high schools. We meet every Sunday right after the 5:00 youth Mass (about 6:00 pm) until 8:00 pm.
Junior Youth Group
This youth group is for students in the 4th, 5th, & 6th grades. We meet one Sunday a month from 3:30 – 4:30 PM in the Parish Hall. Meetings include a lot of fun, games, and prayer.
Calendar
Youth Group Cooks
We need adults to serve the youth group by preparing and serving food and refreshments for Sunday night meetings. This usually just requires two to three hours, three or four times a year.
Youth Group Volunteers
All parents and young adults are invited to join the youth group core team. Every adult on the team is required to complete the Safe Environment training and background check.

Safe Environment Training
The Diocese of Owensboro requires anyone over 18 years of age who is in a supervisory role with children or vulnerable adults to complete the Safe Environment training and a background check. Once completed, the training and the background checks are good for 5 years. Please click here to go to the Diocese of Owensboro's website on becoming Safe Environment compliant. The church office has an instruction sheet on how to complete the program, if needed. You may also come by the office and take the training on one of our computers.
For the Youth Programs below, please contact the designated individuals.
Children’s Liturgy of the Word
This program is for children in grades K-3. The children are called forward at the 10:00 Mass on Sunday, right before the Liturgy of the Word, in order to break open the word for them on their level. They have their own little chapel in the Family Life Center. They return to their seats with the parents after the Prayers of the Faithful. Contact Barbara Cecil (270-685-5004) to help as a leader or helper. Adults working with the children must complete the Safe Environment training and the Background Check.
