JSAY Overview

Welcome to JSAY! This ministry is all about forming our 7th and 8th grade students in the faith. We will meet every Wednesday from 6:00-7:30pm in person. Location is TBD (please keep up with the flocknote and bulletin for updates). We will talk about Jesus, the Faith, the Church, and more!

My name is Maddy Hammer and I am the JSAY youth minister here at St. Anthony's. I am very excited to be here and I am so excited to be on this journey with your youth. We have some exciting things planned for this semester!

Our Mission

We teach the Faith using engaging speakers, dynamic videos, fun games, and more! Our main goal is to provide an opportunity for the youth to encounter Christ every week. We do this by providing consistency in our preaching of the Gospel, by having courage in sharing our testimonies, and empowering each other and the youth to grow in their relationships with Christ.

A typical youth night includes a game, a talk, some form of prayer (either Adoration, praise and worship, or something creative), and small groups. Our small groups allow the youth to dive deeper into their faith by sharing with their leaders or by asking questions. It has been proven time and time again that youth retain more memory of the Faith when they are given the ability to process it within small groups. 

Spring 2021 Semester Overview

We are very excited to get back in the swing of things for JSAY. I am beyond excited to be able to serve the youth this semester! We have alot of new and exciting things planned for this semester and we can't wait to experience it with the youth! The theme for this semester is Solving the Mysteries of the Faith. We will walk through the creed and the basic teachings of our Catholic Faith.
