Every day at Alive in You will be a new adventure. Your days will be packed with awesome praise and worship music, prayer, motivational speakers, service, and education about our Catholic faith. Your group will also have time to come together daily and grow closer while experiencing Christ at Alive in You.
Alive in You is open to all current 8th-12th graders! Thanks to parish support, without needing to fundraise, our cost this year will be $250 for Alive in You!
Did you know? There's still time to sign up! We have 6 spots for young people! Sign Up with a $100 Commitment Fee that is refundable if we don't get at least 4 students to sign up.
Unfortunately, we are quickly approaching the end of March and the original deadline to sign up and we haven't had anyone sign up. I am working to figure out why. If you could take a brief moment to fill out this poll and help me gather more information that would be greatly appreciated.
We are considering moving the trip to the following week, July 5-10th in Indianapolis, IN. The poll will help us decide if we should! Please fill it out!
We're Creating a Youth Core Team!
YCT is a volunteer opportunity to take a leadership role with our St. Margaret Mary Catholic Community Youth Ministry program.
Students on YCT are committed to serving our parish through their own relationship with Christ and planning and running Youth Events throughout the year to lead others closer to Christ.
Youth in 7th-12th grade as of 2022-2023 school year may apply to serve on YCT. This is a one year commitment from August 2022 - June 2023. We will meet once a month on a date/time decided by the team. These meetings will help us plan for upcoming events and opportunities for growing our program.
Core Team members specifically are called to love and reach out to other youth in our community, especially those younger. You will help plan and lead events, build friendships with younger teens and your peers, doing your best to be the role models showing an example of what it means to be a young person following Christ in our complicated world.
Application Deadline is July 31, 2022 at Midnight. Students will be notified in August of acceptance onto YCT for 2022-2023.
