Youthworks! Mission Trips
Our yearly middle and high school mission trips bring youth to areas of the country where people are in need of home repairs, painting and other services. Youth are given opportunities for prayer, reflection, and community building along with the service to help them know the fullness of Catholic life.  This opportunity for youth to get away from the busyness of their everyday lives allows them to focus on their faith. There is both a middle school and a high school mission trip.

Sleep Out for the Homeless
An annual event that invites all youth, grades 6-12, to come together to get a short glimpse of what it might be like to be homeless. All registered participants must come with their own cardboard box, a donation for PRISM and the warmest gear they have to sleep in.

Young people in grades 8-12 provide the leadership for a variety of youth ministry events, Retreats, and youth Masses, as well as support each other through faith sharing. The Youth Ministers help Peer Ministers develop their skills in leadership and ministry. These young people are primarily focused on building their relationship with Christ through active ministry to their friends, family, community and Parish.
