Saint Rose of Lima Youth Ministry
We seek to provide a program and ministry that enables young people to lead lives of holiness while giving them opportunities to lead, serve, pray, learn, grow, and of course, have fun while living out their Catholic faith.

Youth Ministry is open to all students in grades 9-12. Youth Group meets on Sundays from 3-4:30pm in the youth room. Check out the revised schedule of youth group meetings!

Mission Trip 2012
The youth group will be going to Milwaukee, WI from June 17th-23rd to do mission work. We will be doing extensive fundraising throughout the year to help cover the cost of the trip. There are required monthly meetings for all participants and their parents. See the list of meetings. Leaders are needed for the trip! A $75 deposit is also due with the leader sign-up form. All leaders must complete Virtus, a background check, and the driver's check, and be willing to share driving responsibilities with the other leaders. Must be 21 in order to drive. The cost for the leaders is the same and will hopefully be covered through fundraising.

Our next meeting will be on Monday, January 9th, from 7-8pm in the youth room.
