St. Ignatius Youth Ministry
St. Ignatius Youth Ministry seeks to inspire and equip young people to become disciples of Jesus Christ in the world today with the goal of leading teenagers and their families into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church with the Blessed Virgin Mary as our intercessor and guide. Youth Ministry is open to all public and private school students in grades 6th through 12th. Our hope is to assist teens in taking ownership of their faith, preparing them for a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ. We hope to lead the teens of our parish into deeper relationships with Jesus through our wonderful programs!

Senior High Ministry
Here at St. Ignatius we believe in meeting teens where they are at, while providing opportunities to encounter Jesus Christ in hopes of fostering a life of discipleship. We try to do this in many ways, one way in particular is through Core Team Life Night. Our Life Nights are opportunities for high school teens to engage in games, small groups, prayer and so much more. In addition, junior high ministry planning also takes place at these meetings.
High School Impact Core Team (HIT)- High School teens interested in serving on Core Team must attend monthly Sunday HIT meetings.
Daily & Dessert - Every second Monday, 6-7:30pm, beginning with 6pm Mass. Teens not attending Mass should meet in the Youth Room at 6:30pm. Join us for a time of fun, fellowship, prayer & dessert. All teens in 9th-12th grade are invited.- December 16th

Adult Core Team
Teens need a total of 5 adults in their lives for them to encounter the Gospel and choose their Catholic Faith into the youth adult years. Will you be one of their FIVE?
If you or someone you know is interested in serving the teens of the parish please contact Bernie Gauthé for more details about areas of need. Some initial and urgent needs are adults 21+ to chaperone events and Open Youth Room.
Our teens are also in need of scholarships for retreats and events. If you'd like to sponsor a teen on retreat or EFC, we'd be grateful. You can buy stock in teens at designated Sunday Masses, and enjoy an end of the summer evening of sharing and dessert. Stay tuned for more information regarding our fundraising efforts.
