Middle School Youth Ministry

All 6th-8th grade students are encouraged to get involved in the service and social opportunities offered through Middle School Youth Ministry where they can deepen their relationships with their peers in our Catholic Community.  They will have fun, grow as individuals, and grow closer to Jesus Christ through their involvement.

Our Middle School Youth Ministry Program is mostly event-based and is intended to encourage discipleship in combination with the IGNITE Middle School Faith Formation Program.  All 6th-8th grade students who do not receive religious education at school are encouraged to enroll in the IGNITE Program to provide that formation.  Click below for more information:

 Adults Willing to Chaperone

The farm is operated by the Sisters of Saint Francis
and relies on the help of volunteers
to keep its program running. 
We will be given various jobs to do, and we’ll also
have a tour of the farm.  This will count as 8 hours of service.

We will need Safe&Sacred-trained chaperones
who have had background checks this year.
