Life & EDGE Night Food Ministry
As an act of hospitality, our youth minitries are served dinner as part of their weekly Life and EGE Nights during the season. While all parents of active youth are assigned a volunteer role in this ministry, each year we look for a Core group of a few parents who are willing to take the lead in the overall vision, plan, and coordination of menus and the assignment of weekly volunteers who will serve.
Youth Trips & Activities
Throughout the year, both at the high school and the middle school levels, Youth Ministry offers onsite and offsite trips and activities, including the Middle School EPIC event, lock-ins and socials, service experiences, the Diocesan Youth Conference, Steubenville, High School Work Camp, and others. Volunteers are needed for various roles such as chaperones.
Special Needs & Disabilities Ministry
Special Needs and Disabilities mentors are adults who support our young people with special needs and disabilities with the focus of helping them participate fully in EDGE or Life Night each week.
