On the Rock is a Sunday gathering of high school youth where we explore who Jesus is and our response to Him through our Catholic Faith. It is NOT a classroom! We strive to learn through community life and laughter. "I told you these things so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be complete." (Jn 15:11)
On the Rock is held year-round on most Sunday evenings. All high school youth are welcome to attend these meetings.
We provide teens with a comfortable environment in which they are free to question, challenge, and discuss their faith as it impacts the various aspects of their lives: spiritual, social, educational, physical and emotional. The CORE Team facilitates each session under the direction of the High School Youth Ministry Coordinator. All adult leads must be VIRTUS trained.

All Are Welcome - Youth Mass!
As part of the youth faith formation program during the school year, the monthly Sunday 6:00 PM Mass will be incorporated into the youth's programming as a learning Mass. These 90-minute Masses are specifically focused on the youth, however open to everyone. After the homily the youth will leave the sanctuary with the Faith Formation leads for discussion. All other parishioners will remain and be led by the priest in discussion of the times.
During the summer months, a regular monthly Mass will be offered. "Hang-out time is offered after Mass where games and refreshments will be available until 7:45p.
