9th-12th Grade (High School Disciples)

Sunday Morning Small Groups

Real conversations. Real faith. Real life. High school small groups are a place for teens to talk about real-life questions and grow in faith with friends in a structured supportive environment. Our high school small groups (separate groups for guys and girls) give teens a chance to dig deeper into topics that are important to them through the lens of our Catholic faith.

Each group runs for 6–8 sessions and focuses on a specific theme. 

Sample topics include:

  • Dating & Relationships – faith and friendships that last

  • Discernment – figuring out God’s plan for your life

  • Money & Stewardship – managing what God gives you

  • Men & Women of the Bible – learning from their stories

  • Adulting – navigating responsibilities and independence

  • What is Truth? – standing firm in today’s world

  • The Eucharist – encountering Christ in the Sacrament

When & Where: Sunday mornings, 9:30–10:20am (between Masses), starting in the Narthex with donuts. Leaders: Jeremy Bries and Sara Osborn

No registration is required, but letting us know you’re coming helps us plan materials and food. [Register here]

High School  YG (Youth Group)

High schoolers gather on Wednesday nights from 6:30–8:30pm during the school year for a night of faith, food, and friends—with optional free hangout, prayer, or game time until 9:00pm.

Each week focuses on a topic—ranging from core faith ideas like What is Truth?, The Eucharist, and The Saints, to real-life issues like perseverance, honesty, and gossip. Through games, discussions, and small group conversations, teens not only deepen their understanding of faith but also explore how to live it out in the world and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.

Each night includes:

  • Faith Talk that connects Catholic teaching to real-life questions

  • Dinner Together (6:30–7:00pm) with favorites like pizza, tacos, nachos, and more

  • Small Group Time for meaningful conversation and connection with peers

  • Games & Activities For fun and grow in community together

  • ADORE – once a month we gather for praise & worship before the Blessed Sacrament

No registration is required, but it helps us plan food and activities.
