youth ministry

High School Ministry exists to empower teens to live as disciples of Jesus Christ, to participate in the life and mission of the Church, and to Foster the spiritual and personal development of each individual. At St. Michael the Archangel, we accomplish this through a variety of opportunities: 


Throughout the School Year


Youth Night - Weekly on Sundays | 7:00 - 8:30 PM

Each Sunday of the week we host a Youth Night that serves to educate high schoolers about the Catholic faith, equip them to continue to grow in relationship with God outside of our Youth Nights, and show them how to put their faith into action in the habits they create and people they encounter in everyday life. We also offer snacks, drinks, games, small group discussion, and prayer time to promote community among the high schoolers as well as good relationship with the young adult volunteers.


Youth Nights are subject to change or may be canceled due to holidays or the monthly Night of Worship.


No registration is required and students not part of the St. Michael the Archangel Parish are more than welcome to join us. We ask that a Release Form be turned in at the beginning of each school year: 2023-2024 Release Form


Night of Worship - 3rd Sundays of the Month | 7:15 - 8:15 PM

While this is not a youth specific event, we encourage teens to attend with their friends or family. Night of Worship is an hour of Adoration with praise and worship. Encounter God through music, reflection, and the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist!
