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 help young people encounter Christ, follow Christ, and share His teachings with others- through word and deed!  


Altar Servers

Boys and girls (3rd grade and up) are invited to serve the priest in celebrating the Mass. Training is required. Contact the Office for more information.


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 (270-929-3690) to help as a leader or helper. Adults working with the children must complete the Safe Environment training and the Background Check.


Religious Education

Religious Education Classes run from the first Sunday following Labor Day through the beginning of May. These are classes for students in public and home school, to be be educated in our Catholic Faith. We have classed for students in Kindergarden-8th Grade and we meet every Sunday morning from 8:30-9:30am. Contact Christina Barnard for more information.


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.


Vacation Bible School

Each Summer, we dedicate 1 week to Vacation Bible School for students in Pre-K to 5th Grade. Each VBS revolves around a different theme of our faith, and includes: learning, songs, games, crafts, snacks, prizes and so much fun! Older youth are welcome to come as volunteers, and we need as many adult volunteers as possible to make each VBS a success! Contact Christina Barnard for more information.
