Hearin' what You SAY
-
SAY, or St. Anthony's Youth, is our high school youth group. It is open to all high schoolers grades 9 - 12. Youth group is held weekly (during the school year) on Sundays after the 10 AM Mass from 11:30 - 1:30 PM, This is a beautiful time for us to get to know each other, to grow in our relationship with God, and with the Church. We welcome all teens, Catholic or not, to join us on our faith journey. Teens who are already Confirmed are encouraged to be an integral part of our program - to help those who are not yet Confirmed on their journey, but also to expand their own conversion & discipleship. Through SAY, we offer retreats & other ministry opportunities which encourage an encounter with Jesus Christ. We believe that an authentic encounter with Jesus - not just the man we read about in the Bible, but the living Jesus who is present to us at every Mass & in our hearts today - transforms our lives! When we encounter Jesus, our lives are forever changed, and we cannot help but share the love that we have found in Him with everyone we meet!
