"Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations..."
As a ministry of All Saints Catholic Church, the mission of the All Saints Youth Ministry is to lead the young people of our parish into a deeper, authentic relationship with Christ and His Church, and through them, to bring Christ more and more into the world at large.
The world today promises comfort and cheap joy. This ministry welcomes all young people who are seeking fulfillment, real joy, greatness, happiness, and friendship, and we will work to show you that Jesus Christ is the Happiness you are seeking. We have events, resources, and programs for teens from grades 6-12, and there is a place for everyone here. Leading our teens to Christ is the mission. Come along and join us for the adventure.
Our Core Team is a dedicated group of All Saints parishioners who volunteer every week to minister to, spend time with, and pray for the High School-aged youth of our parish!

"The definitive aim of catechesis is to put people not only in touch but in communion, in intimacy, with Jesus Christ: only He can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity..."
The purpose of All Saints High School Youth Ministry is to create an environment that leads high school youth into a deeper relationship with God through Jesus Christ and His Church. Our ministry offers dynamic events such as Illuminate Nights, Bible Study, retreats, missions, conferences, and more. All are welcome!
We meet every Sunday after the 5:00 pm Mass, 9th to 12th-grade students will take time eating together, praying together and have an engaging topic relevant to the faith and their lives. We also have time for praise, worship, and music to enhance the prayer experiences. Every few weeks, we go to the Chapel and experience Adoration.
Every Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:15 pm, we meet up with the Junior High Ministry for pizza and fellowship, then we split up and look at the upcoming readings to help prepare ourselves for the Sunday liturgy. Come by beforehand as early as 5:30 to hang out or study!

There will be dynamic speakers, breakout sessions, time to hang out, and of course, Jesus!
Our Junior High Ministry is focused on providing youth in grades 6 through 8 with fun activities where they can both develop strong friendships and grow in their relationship with God and deepen their understanding of their Catholic Faith!
Students: We invite you to join us and take a step in your faith journey!
Parents: We invite you as well! Help your children and others to grow in their relationship with Christ! Making disciples of our teens is a team sport!
Every Wednesday, we and the High School Ministry gather together for fellowship and fun, and then separate out to dive into the readings for the next Sunday's Mass. All youth in grades 6-12 are welcome to join us!
IMPACT is a weekly gathering of Junior High teens where we talk about different topics concerning the faith, life, friendship, and more. We normally have a talk, some fun events and food! We'll have small groups and social opportunities as well.

VIRTUE
What is 'virtue', and why should we care about it as Catholics?
"A virtue is a habitual and firm disposition to do the good. It allows the person not only to perform good acts, but to give the best of himself."-Catechism #1803
Both Scripture and the best of philosophy tell us of 7 primary virtues. There are more than these, but these are the most broad way to summarize them all. Four are apparent from reason and are called the "Cardinal Virtues". These are:
Prudence (or 'Wisdom')
Justice
Fortitude (or 'Courage')
Temperance (or 'Moderation')
Scrtipture and the Tradition of the Church give us three more which are called the "Theological Virtues". These are:
Faith
Hope
Love (or 'Charity')
Check out any of the links below for more information about the virtues, and how you can grow in them!

"The Chosen" is, honestly, the greatest television-quality portrayal of the Gospel I have ever seen. It is not only actually good television, but it is a really impactful way to experience the Gospels and the life, ministry, and person of Jesus Christ. We cannot recommend this enough to anyone.
