Throughout the year, Lisa will update her database and assemble a directory of teens participating in the Youth Program, so your prompt response to this short questionnaire is a must! This will allow the participants and their parents to provide Lisa with information that will help her to design a program which will meet the needs of our teenage parishioners. Please take the time to complete your registration here online. This is an excellent opportunity for our youth to REJOICE & REJOIN.

Mission Statement

The Cathedral Youth Group is a Catholic faith based community that is committed to inviting and helping teenagers grow stronger in faith and outreach through education, fellowship, service and worship.

The Youth Group consists of junior high and high school students (grades 7 - 12).

These groups participate in faith sharing, scripture study, discussion of current events and issues, and prayer.
