Youth Ministry

About 

SSJ Cathedral Youth Programs serve those in grades 7-12 and their families with an exciting look at our Catholic faith. We offer catechetical nights, social activities, service projects, retreats, missions, and much more!

ROC is for our junior high students. Within this program, teens have the chance to grow in community in the love of Christ and love for His Church through passionate teaching of the truth and honest sharing of our lives as we live out the Gospel by serving and loving one another.

High school teens are invited to participate in Youth Group. Our program is a Eucharist centered Catholic program for high school teens. By sharing the teachings of our Church and facilitating powerful encounters with Christ, we help the teens grow in knowledge of our faith while transforming their hearts to help them passionately live out the Gospel by serving and loving one another. Through fellowship and open and honest discussion, we grow closer to one another and Christ knowing that we walk this journey together.

Youth Ministry is a light to the youth of our Cathedral parish by providing a safe environment where teens are encouraged and equipped to pursue an intimate relationship with God, rooted in Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, centered on the Eucharist and Christ driven service.

ROC
