Theology of the Body for Teens: Is a program that is divided into 12 unique segments that reflect the pedagogical approach of John Paul II's revolutionary teaching. The sessions are setup in 90 minute formats with discussion and view segments on DVDs. The DVD series contains 20-25 minutes of teaching per lesson (including four special guys and girls only segments), presented by the authors of the program, Jason & Crystalina Evert and Brian Butler. Also included is a 40-minute video presentation for the parents of the students who will be participating in the program. Teens crave direction for their lives with all the mixed messages we get from the media. Theology of the Body for Teens introduces them to the original beauty of God's plan for humanity and their lives in particular as well. Check the bulletin when Theology of the Body for Teens meets.

Dead Theologians Society (DTS): The Dead Theologians Society is a Catholic apostolate for high school age teens. Through the Saints of yesterday, the Dead Theologians Society inspires the youth of today to become the saints of tomorrow. A special charism of the Dead Theologians Society is to pray for the release of the Souls in Purgatory. Its motto is, "Dead to the World, alive in Christ!" This is inspired by Romans 6:11 where St. Paul tells us to be dead to sin but alive in Christ Jesus. You notice the teens who participate in DTS by their black hooded shirts that is a symbol of the apostolate. Check the bulletin for meeting times. Click here for Fall 2009 Schedule.
Adult Chaperones: Adult Chaperones are needed for all Youth activities other than Youth Group. Training is provided. The Parish must have a completed police record check on each Chaperone before the individual is allowed to supervise the youth.
